For any machine learning model, finding the optimal hyperparameter setting has a direct and significant impact on the model’s performance. In this paper, we discuss different types of hyperparameter optimization techniques. We compare the performance of some of the hyperparameter optimization techniques on image…

The application of artificial intelligence in everyday life is becoming all-pervasive and unavoidable. Within that vast field, a special place belongs to biomimetic/bio-inspired algorithms for multiparameter optimization, which find their use in a large number of areas. Novel methods and advances are being published at…

'Mohammad Khalilzadeh' 'Amin Valizadeh'] In this study, we evaluate several nongradient (evolutionary) search strategies for minimizing mathematical function expressions. We developed and tested the genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, and differential evolution in order to assess their general efficacy in…

'Laith Abualigah' 'Xuewen Xia'] With a focus on education and teaching, we provide general background information on bioinspired optimization methods by comparing the concept of optimization and the search for an optimum in engineering and biology. We introduce both the principles of Darwinian evolution and the basic…

We investigate the use of competitive co-evolution for synthesizing progressively better solutions. Specifically, we introduce a set of methods to measure historical and global progress. We discuss the factors that facilitate genuine progress. Finally, we compare the efficacy of four qualitatively different algorithms.…

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…

Directed microbial evolution harnesses evolutionary processes in the laboratory to construct microorganisms with enhanced or novel functional traits. Attempting to direct evolutionary processes for applied goals is fundamental to evolutionary computation, which harnesses the principles of Darwinian evolution as a…

Evolutionary algorithms, a class of optimization techniques inspired by biological evolution, have emerged as powerful tools for the optimization of complex systems, including the evolution of mass-action chemical reaction networks. This work explores the application of evolutionary algorithms in this domain…

Model development is essential to gain a mathematical understanding of the underlying phenomena in systems biology. In most models, it is typically hard to estimate the values of the biophysical/phenomenological parameters that characterize the model. The parameters are estimated by minimizing a function that reduces a…

Synthetic biology applications are currently based on the programming of bacteria with tailor-made circuits designed ad hoc by applying a top-down strategy. We introduce a novel algorithm oriented to design synthetic bacteria according to a bottom-up approach, i.e. via an ‘evolutionary programming’ algorithm. The…

Universities face a constant challenge when distributing students and allocating them to their required classes, especially for a large mass of students. Generating feasible timetables is a strenuous task that requires plenty of resources, which makes it impractical to take student preferences into consideration during…
