In extending the realism of the iterated prisoner's evolutionary approaches included intermediate choices or mistakes (noise). This study takes a step further using a coevolving population of neural networks playing the IPD game with both intermediate choices and noise. Several issues will be addressed, which include the evolution of cooperation and the evolutionary stability in the presence of noise and more choices. Our experimental study shows that noise has a negative impact on the evolution of cooperation, but could improve, surprisingly, the evolutionary stability.","PeriodicalId":152088,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE Cat.

In consequence, the implemented partnering strategies can have significant effects on the dynamical behaviour of CGA as well as their optimization performance. Infinite population models of CGA consisting of two populations coevolving on two-bit landscapes are described and investigated in the context of four well-applied partnering strategies. It is shown that even in these simplest models, the dynamical behaviour of CGA changes dramatically according to different evolutionary scenarios that deserves our attention from the perspective of coevolutionary algorithms designing.","PeriodicalId":152088,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE Cat.

This hybrid method is able to find global optimum for six benchmark problems. It is sensitive to the swarm topology which defines information transfer between particles; however, the hypothesis (Kennedy et al., 2001) that a star topology is better for finding the optimum for problems with large number of optima is not supported by this study. It is also seen that in the absence of the local optimizer, particle swarm alone is not as effective. The proposed method is also demonstrated on an identical catalytic reactor model.","PeriodicalId":152088,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE Cat.

The key to an effective diversification is identifying the similarity among individuals. With no prior knowledge of the fitness landscapes, it is usually determined by uninformative assumptions on the number of peaks. We propose a method to estimate the sharing distance and the corresponding population size. Using the probably approximately correct (PAC) learning theory and the e-cover concept, we derive the PAC neighbor distance of a local optimum. Within this neighborhood, uniform samples are drawn and we compute the subspace fitness distance correlation (FDC) coefficients. An algorithm is developed to estimate the granularity feature of the fitness landscapes. The sharing distance is determined from the granularity feature and furthermore, the population size is decided. Experiments demonstrate that by using the estimated population size and sharing distance an evolutionary algorithm (EA) correctly identifies multiple optima.","PeriodicalId":152088,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE Cat.

In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, experiments were conducted on six benchmarks continuous optimization problems. Results clearly demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed algorithm in terms of solution quality, average computation time and consistency.

Specifically, we learn general routing information from a human player and use case-injected genetic algorithms to incorporate this acquired knowledge in subsequent planning. Results from a strike planning game show that with an appropriate representation, case injection effectively biases the genetic algorithm toward producing plans that contain important strategic elements used by human players.","PeriodicalId":152088,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE Cat.
