Some Possible Reasons for the Limited Success of Evolutionary Algorithms

It is theoretically possible that out of thousands of scientists working on evolutionary computation, all failed to correctly implement the Darwinian algorithm. Read More ›

The State of the Art in Evolutionary Computation

As with early AI, the claims are inflated, unsupported, and the solutions do not scale to real world problems. Perhaps an EA “winter” is long overdue. Read More ›

On Evolutionary Computation

From the early 1950s, multiple well-documented attempts to make Darwin’s algorithm work on a computer have been published. Read More ›
