Coevolving High-Level Representations

Several evolutionary simulations allow for a dynamic resizing of the genotype. This is an important alternative to constraining the genotype’s maximum size and complexity. In this paper, we add an additional dynamic to simulated evolution with the description of a genetic algorithm that coevolves its representation language with the genotypes. We introduce two mutation operators that permit the...

High-Level Optimizations for Low-Level Software

ion, in the presence of a number of interacting analysis tools? We believe this to be an important challenge but have not yet made much progress towards solving it. Of course, machines often have trouble answering “why” questions because they usually do not keep track of the reasons that previous decisions were made, and because the correct answer can depend on the frame of mind of a human. We ...
