Lecture Notes
Pending uploading of my 2008 lecture notes, here are the lectures from the 2007 CSSS Beijing:
- New! Lecture 1: Introduction to Evolutionary Computation (6.2MB)
- New! Lecture 2: Mathematical Analysis of Evolutionary Algorithms (1 MB)
- New! Lecture 3: Higher Order Evolutionary Phenomena (9MB)
Additional Reading
- Altenberg, L. , 2004. Open Problems in the Spectral Analysis of Evolutionary Dynamics presents a mathematical framework for evolutionary optimization and some of its unsolved problems.
- Altenberg, L. , 1994. The Schema Theorem and Price's Theorem delves into the claims about schema processing as the source of power in genetic algorithms, and recasts the Schema Theorem (Holland 1975) by using Price's Theorem (1970). It is shown that the Schema Theorem says nothing about a GA's power, but a modification with a different measurement function produces a theorem about evolvability that is a local measure of GA power. The concept of rugged landscapes is also deconstructed in terms of operator-defined distance.
- Erik van Nimwegen, James P. Crutchfield, and Martijn Huynen. Neutral Evolution of Mutational Robustness. Proceedings of the National Academy of Science U.S.A. 96:9716-9720 (1999).
- Altenberg, L. , 2004. Modularity in Evolution: Some Low Level Questions deconstructs the concept of modularity in terms of spaces of variation, and discusses properties needed for modularity to enhance evolvability.
