  2. Evolutionary programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_programming

    Evolutionary programming. Evolutionary programming is one of the four major evolutionary algorithm paradigms. It is similar to genetic programming, but the structure of the program to be optimized is fixed, while its numerical parameters are allowed to evolve. It was first used by Lawrence J. Fogel in the US in 1960 in order to use simulated ...

  3. Evolutionary algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_algorithm

    e. In computational intelligence (CI), an evolutionary algorithm (EA) is a subset of evolutionary computation, [1] a generic population-based metaheuristic optimization algorithm. An EA uses mechanisms inspired by biological evolution, such as reproduction, mutation, recombination, and selection. Candidate solutions to the optimization problem ...

  4. Evolutionary computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_computation

    Evolutionary computation. Evolution of a population of random images. Each frame in the animation is a generation showing the best fitness individual with a genome made up of the greyscale level of each patch. Evolution follows 1. evaluate fitness, 2. rank individuals and 3. include genes from next highest fitness individual.

  5. Evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution

    Evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. [1] [2] It occurs when evolutionary processes such as natural selection and genetic drift act on genetic variation, resulting in certain characteristics becoming more or less common within a population over successive generations. [3]

  6. Evolution strategy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_strategy

    t. e. In computer science, an evolution strategy (ES) is an optimization technique based on ideas of evolution. It belongs to the general class of evolutionary computation or artificial evolution methodologies.

  7. Evidence of common descent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence_of_common_descent

    Evidence of common descent of living organisms has been discovered by scientists researching in a variety of disciplines over many decades, demonstrating that all life on Earth comes from a single ancestor. This forms an important part of the evidence on which evolutionary theory rests, demonstrates that evolution does occur, and illustrates ...

  8. Genetic programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_programming

    e. In artificial intelligence, genetic programming (GP) is a technique of evolving programs, starting from a population of unfit (usually random) programs, fit for a particular task by applying operations analogous to natural genetic processes to the population of programs. The operations are: selection of the fittest programs for reproduction ...

  9. Introduction to evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_evolution

    In biology, evolution is the process of change in all forms of life over generations, and evolutionary biology is the study of how evolution occurs. Biological populations evolve through genetic changes that correspond to changes in the organisms ' observable traits. Genetic changes include mutations, which are caused by damage or replication ...
