Linkage in Evolutionary Computation

http://lec.nclab.tw

Overview

Genetic and evolutionary algorithms (GEAs) are powerful search methods based on the paradigm of evolution and widely applied to solve problems in many disciplines. In order to improve the performance and applicability, numerous sophisticated mechanisms have been introduced and integrated into GEAs in the past decades. One major category of these enhancing mechanisms is the concept of linkage, which models the relation between the decision variables with the genetic linkage observed in biological systems, and linkage learning techniques. Linkage learning connects the computational optimization methodologies and the natural evolution mechanisms. Not only can learning and adapting natural mechanisms enable us to design better computational methodologies, but also the insight gained by observing and analyzing the algorithmic behavior permits us to further understand biological systems, based on which GEAs are developed.
