Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is an effective optimal technique. However, it often suffers from being trapped into local optima when solving complex multimodal optimizing problems due to its inefficient exploiting of feasible solution space. This paper proposes a Baldwin effect based learning particle swarm optimizer (BELPSO) to improve the performance of PSO when solving complex multimodal...

The claim that phenotypic plasticity speeds up evolution towards a target phenotype is a recent incarnation of the Baldwin effect. To differentiate this theory from earlier interpretations of Baldwin's ideas, we name it the Baldwin expediting effect. Models that demonstrate this effect assume an extreme fitness scenario which bestows high fitness upon a single optimal phenotype and treats all o...

For years it has been recognised that interactions between learning and evolution such as the Baldwin e ect Baldwin can be subtle and often counter intuitive Recently a new e ect has been discussed it is suggested that evolutionary progress towards one speci c goal may be assisted by lifetime learning on a di erent task which may or may not be uncorrelated Parisi Nol Cecconi Here the phenomenon...

The Baldwin effect is known as interactions between learning and evolution, which suggests that individual lifetime learning can influence the course of evolution without the Lamarckian mechanism. Our concern is to consider the Baldwin effect in dynamic environments, especially when there is no explicit optimal solution through generations and it depends only on interactions among agents. We ad...

The inclusion of learning in genetic algorithms based on the Baldwin eeect is one of the popular approaches to improving the convergence of genetic algorithms. However, the expected improvement may not be easily obtained. This is mainly due to the lack of understanding of the factors that aaect the Baldwin eeect. This paper aims at providing suucient evidence to connrm that the level of diicult...

The Baldwin effect is known as an interaction between learning and evolution, which suggests that individual lifetime learning can influence the course of evolution without lamarckian mechanism. Since Hinton and Nowlan showed this by computer simulation, many studies have been made in the static environment. Our concern is to consider the Baldwin effect in dynamic environment, especially when t...

Abstract What I aim to elucidate in this article is Baldwin's moral psychology of anger general, and black rage particular, as seen his nonfiction. I'll show that thinking significant for relevant important questions at the intersection philosophy emotions, race, social philosophy. It also has pragmatic application present-day anti-racist struggle. theoretical account Black rage, argue, (1) dig...

Individual lifetime learning can`guide' an evolving population to areas of high tness in genotype space through an evolutionary phenomenon known as the Baldwin eeect (Baldwin, 1896; Hin-ton & Nowlan, 1987). It is the accepted wisdom that this guiding speeds up the rate of evolution. By highlighting another interaction between learning and evolution, that will be termed the Hiding eeect, it will...
