Abstract:Many real-world problems are multimodal, which means algorithms should have the ability to find all or most of the multiple solutions as opposed to a single best solution. Niching is the technique that can help evolutionary algorithms to find multiple solutions. Attraction basin sphere estimation (ABSE) is a newly proposed niching method which has the power of inferring the shape of fitness landscapes by spending some extra evaluations. However, when we apply ABSE to genetic algorithms, those extra evaluations… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
