Below is the first of a series of lectures on Evolution, Ecology and Behavior by Professor Stearns of Yale University.
It has a lot of material that should be of interest to anyone interested in Evolutionary Computing. The fourth video in the series is on neutral evolution and genetic drift.
This series is going to make up [...]

Is Neutral Evolution Useful for Evolutionary Computation? Part I

Posted in Artificial intelligence, Evolutionary computing, Grammatical Evolution, Machine Intelligence, tagged , , , , , , , , , on January 21, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Based on publications, and responses from reviewers on the subject, it is evident that neutral evolution is a misused and misunderstood concept in evolutionary computation circles. I intend to dispel some of the confusion in this series of post based on some material from a journal paper by Dr. Kaur (my doctoral supervisor) and myself [...]

Extending the Phenotype in Evolutionary Computing

In his very readable book “The Extended Phenotype“, Dawkins defined the “Extended Phenotype” as the effects of a gene when those effects are not regarded as being confined to the individual body in which the gene sits. He argues against the arbitrariness of limiting the applicability of phenotypes only to expressions of an organism’s genes [...]

Here is a pre-proof copy of my accepted paper: “Search, Neutral Evolution and Mapping in Evolutionary Computing: A Case Study of Grammatical Evolution”.
I would encourage you to read section X  (Analysis of related works) , to see its true implications.
I plan to do a series of posts on what this paper means for Evolutionary Computing, [...]

Misunderstanding Randomness
There are two aspects of randomness in Evolutionary computing that are frequently misunderstood . The first issues is the assumption that the effects of random mutations are always random. No that is not a typo, the effects of random mutation are usually not random but are coordinated into nonrandom distributions based on how genes [...]
