In this contribution, different proposals found in the specialized literature for the application of evolutionary computation to the field of information retrieval will be reviewed. To do so, different kinds of IR problems that have been solved by evolutionary algorithms are analyzed. Some of the specific existing approaches will be specifically described for some of these problems and the obta...

It is well known that in open-ended evolution, the nature of the environment plays in key role in directing evolution. However, in Evolutionary Robotics, it is often unclear exactly how parameterisation of a given environment might influence the emergence of particular behaviours. We consider environments in which the total amount of energy is parameterised by availability and value, and use su...

In this paper, we suggest that Evolutionary Algorithms could be utilized in order to let the COMMONS GAME, one of the popular environmental games, become much more exciting. In order to attain this objective, we utilize Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms to generate various skilled players. Further, we suggest that Evolutionary Programming could be utilized to find out an appropriate point...

The eld of evolutionary computation has been growing rapidly over the last few years. Yet, there are still many gaps to be lled, many experiments to be done, many questions to be answered. In this paper we examine a few important directions in which we can expect a lot of activities and signiicant results; we discuss them from a general perspective and in the context of a particular project: a ...
