Inheritance-based diversity measures for explicit convergence control in evolutionary algorithms

2018 · Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference

Diversity is an important factor in evolutionary algorithms to prevent premature convergence towards a single local optimum. In order to maintain diversity throughout the process of evolution, various means exist in literature. We analyze approaches …

Emergent Escape-based Flocking behavior using Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

2019 · The 2019 Conference on Artificial Life

In nature, flocking or swarm behavior is observed in many species as it has beneficial properties like reducing the probability of being caught by a predator. In this paper, we propose SELFish (Swarm Emergent Learning …
