Interactive evolutionary computation with minimum fitness evaluation requirement and offline algorithm design

Interactive evolutionary computation with minimum fitness evaluation requirement and offline algorithm design

In interactive evolutionary computation (IEC), each solution is evaluated by a human user. Usually the total number of examined solutions is very small. In some applications such as hearing aid design and music composition, only a single solution can be evaluated at a time by a human user. Moreover, accurate and precise numerical evaluation is difficult. Based on these considerations, we formul...

Music Composition with Interactive Evolutionary Computation

The interactive evolutionary computation (IEC), i.e., an evolutionary computation whose fitness function is provided by users, has been applied to aesthetic areas, such as art, design and music. We cannot always define fitness functions explicitly in these areas. With IEC, however, the user's implicit preference can be embedded into the optimization system. This paper describes a new approach t...

Interactive Music Composition with Evolutionary Computation

This article presents an interactive music composition system which utilizes the black-box optimization model of evolutionary computation. The core CFE framework—Composition, Feedback, and Evolution—is presented and described. The music composition system produces short, manageable pieces of music by interacting with users. The essential features of the system include the capability of creating...

Optimized Design of MEMS by Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization with Interactive Evolutionary Computation

We combine interactive evolutionary computation (IEC) with existing evolutionary synthesis software for the design of micromachined resonators and evaluate its effectiveness using human evaluation of the final designs and a test for statistical significance of the improvements. The addition of IEC produces superior designs with fewer potential design or manufacturing problems than those produce...
