Discovering Evolutionary Stepping Stones through Behavior Domination [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Behavior domination is proposed as a tool for understanding and harnessing the power of evolutionary systems to discover and exploit useful stepping stones. Novelty search has shown promise in overcoming deception by collecting diverse stepping stones, and several algorithms have been proposed that combine novelty with a more traditional fitness ...

Remote Sensing Analysis and LiDAR Experimenting in the Espique Valley (La Peza, Granada, Spain)
Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Espique valley is a small space at the foot of the mountain, practically closed, which hides a rich archaeological heritage, not only of habitats but also of varied productive spaces. For some years now, MEMOLab UGR has been carrying out research that is now enriched with the contribution of LiDAR, with whose application we are ...

A genetic algorithm based method for stringent haplotyping of family data
BMC Genetics, 2009 Background The linkage phase, or haplotype, is an extra level of information that in addition to genotype and pedigree can be useful for reconstructing the inheritance pattern of the alleles in a pedigree, and computing for example Identity By Descent ...

MeGA: Merging Multiple Independently Trained Neural Networks Based on Genetic Algorithm [PDF]
arXivIn this paper, we introduce a novel method for merging the weights of multiple pre-trained neural networks using a genetic algorithm called MeGA. Traditional techniques, such as weight averaging and ensemble methods, often fail to fully harness the capabilities of pre-trained networks.

Implications of the Reduction Principle for Cosmological Natural Selection [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Smolin (1992) proposed that the fine-tuning problem for parameters of the Standard Model might be accounted for by a Darwinian process of universe reproduction - Cosmological Natural Selection (CNS) - in which black holes give rise to offspring universes with slightly altered parameters. The laws for variation and inheritance of the parameters are also

Charting the landscape of the environmental exposome
iMeta, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022 We describe the biological and chemical components of the environmental exposomes in three major environmental matrices that are highly relevant to human and social‐economical health—air, soil, and water. We discuss how different exposome components can interact with each other. Finally, we propose a list of outstanding challenges to be tackled to push

A Novel Genetic Algorithm using Helper Objectives for the 0-1 Knapsack Problem [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 The 0-1 knapsack problem is a well-known combinatorial optimisation problem. Approximation algorithms have been designed for solving it and they return provably good solutions within polynomial time. On the other hand, genetic algorithms are well suited for solving the knapsack problem and they find reasonably good solutions quickly.

Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Numerical models are essential for comprehending intricate physical phenomena in different domains. To handle their complexity, sensitivity analysis, particularly screening is crucial for identifying influential input parameters. Kernel‐based methods, such as the Hilbert‐Schmidt Independence Criterion (HSIC), are valuable for analyzing ...

‘Where are the adults?’: Troubling child‐activism and children's political participation
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Children's political participation is a well‐established theme in childhood studies. In this article we offer an original account of child activism that takes into account the entangled and emergent aspect of children as activists. We begin with a historical and a conceptual review, noting the importance of mid‐20th century developments such ...
