'Aaron Alain-Jon Golden'] The vertex coloring problem is a classical problem in combinatorial optimization that consists of assigning a color to each vertex of a graph such that no adjacent vertices share the same color, minimizing the number of colors used. Despite the various practical applications that exist for…

Evolutionary computation is a group of biologically inspired algorithms used to solve complex optimization problems. It can be split into evolutionary algorithms, which take inspiration from genetic inheritance, and swarm intelligence algorithms, that take inspiration from cultural inheritance. However, much of the…

'Laurent Keller'] Genetic spaces are often described in terms of fitness landscapes or genotype-to-phenotype maps, where each genetic sequence is associated with phenotypic properties and linked to other genotypes that are a single mutational step away. The positions close to a genotype make up its “mutational…

Evolutionary computing (EC) is an area of computer sciences and applied mathematics covering heuristic optimization algorithms inspired by evolution in Nature. EC extensively study all the variety of methods which were originally based on the principles of selectionism. As a result, many new algorithms and approaches…

The majority of current visual-algorithmic architecture is constricted to specific parameters that are gradient related, keeping their parts’ relation fixed within the algorithm, far away from a truly parametric modeling with a flexible topology. Recent findings around genetics and certain genes capable of shape…

The Standard Genetic Code (SGC) is robust to mutational errors such that frequently occurring mutations minimally alter the physio-chemistry of amino acids. The apparent correlation between the evolutionary distances among codons and the physio-chemical distances among their cognate amino acids suggests an early…

Finding the most stable adsorption geometry of a flexible molecule on a catalytic surface remains a key challenge due to the high dimensionality and ruggedness of the potential energy surface. We present a Gradient-Enhanced Genetic Algorithm (GE-GA) for the global optimization of adsorbate–surface configurations…

Fluoride-ion batteries (FIBs) present a promising alternative to lithium-ion technologies, offering superior theoretical energy densities and improved sustainability. However, fluoride's high reactivity rapidly degrades traditional organic solvents via nucleophilic attack, limiting practical use. Here, we…

The evolution of complex circuits remains a challenge for the Evolvable Hardware field in spite much effort. There are two major issues: the amount of testing required and the low evolvability of representation structures to handle complex circuitry, at least partially due to the destructive effects of genetic…

Strong coupling and environmental memory render many open quantum systems intractable to classical computation. To overcome this barrier, we present a variational quantum algorithm capable of solving generalized form time-local quantum master equations directly on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) processors. Our…

The development of automated high-throughput experimental platforms has enabled fast sampling of high-dimensional decision spaces. To reach target properties efficiently, these platforms are increasingly paired with intelligent experimental design. When solving optimization problems, Bayesian-based optimizers are often…

Genetic Algorithms are a powerful method to solve optimization problems with complex cost functions over vast search spaces that rely in particular on recombining parts of previous solutions. Crossover operators play a crucial role in this context. Here, we describe a large class of these operators designed for…

Machine olfaction—the artificial replication of the sense of smell—faces significant challenges due to the absence of large, standardized training datasets. Unlike vision, language, and audio models, which benefit from extensive corpora such as ImageNet, GLUE, and AudioSet, olfaction lacks scaled equivalents and…

Computer-assisted design of small molecules has experienced a resurgence in academic and indus- trial interest due to the widespread use of data-driven techniques such as deep generative models. While the ability to generate molecules that fulfill required chemical properties is encouraging, the use of deep learning…
