Scheme of Big-Data Supported Interactive Evolutionary Computation

Secure Computation for Big Data

Secure computation has been a powerful and important research area in cryptography since the first breakthrough results in the 1980s. For many years this area was purely theoretical, as the feasibility results have not been considered even close to practical. Recently, it appears to have turned a corner, with several research efforts showing that secure computation for large classes of function...

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...

Improving problem definition through interactive evolutionary computation

Poor definition and uncertainty are primary characteristics of conceptual design processes. During the initial stages of these generally human-centric activities, little knowledge pertaining to the problem at hand may be available. The degree of problem definition will depend on information available in terms of appropriate variables, constraints, and both quantitative and qualitative objective...

Interactive Evolutionary Computation in System Identification

In practical system identification it is often desirable to introduce additional objectives and constraints into the identification problem. In some cases, these objectives and constraints are often non-commensurable and the objective functions are explicitly/mathematically not available. In this paper, Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC) is used to effectively handle these identificatio...
