Evolutionary Computation Using Interaction among Genetic Evolution, Individual Learning and Social Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper studies the characteristics of interaction among genetic evolution, individual learning and social learning using an evolutionary computation system with NK fitness landscape, both under static and dynamic environments. We show conditions for effective social learning: at least 1.5 times lighter cost of social learning than that of individual learning, beneficial teaching action, low epistasis and dynamic environment.

New composite evolutionary computation algorithm using interactions among genetic evolution, individual learning and social learning
This paper studies the characteristics of a new composite evolutionary computation algorithm in which genetic evolution, individual learning and social learning interact in NK fitness landscape. We derive conditions for effective social learning in static and dynamic environments using computer simulations of a model of the composite evolutionary algorithm. The conditions for static environment...
متن کاملThe Effect of Social Learning on Individual Learning and Evolution
We consider the effects of social learning on the individual learning and genetic evolution of a colony of artificial agents capable of genetic, individual and social modes of adaptation. We confirm that there is strong selection pressure to acquire traits of individual learning and social learning when these are adaptive traits. We show that selection pressure for learning of either kind can s...
متن کاملRapid evolution of social learning.
Culture is widely thought to be beneficial when social learning is less costly than individual learning and thus may explain the enormous ecological success of humans. Rogers (1988. Does biology constrain culture. Am. Anthropol. 90: 819-831) contradicted this common view by showing that the evolution of social learning does not necessarily increase the net benefits of learned behaviours in a va...
متن کاملOn the design of neuro-controllers for individual and social learning behaviour in autonomous robots: an evolutionary approach
In Biology/Psychology the capability of natural organisms to learn from the observation/interaction with conspecifics is referred to as social learning. Roboticists have recently developed an interest on social learning, since it might represent an effective strategy to enhance the adaptivity of a team of autonomous robots. In this study, we show that a methodological approach based on artifcia...
متن کاملTesting the Variability Selection Hypothesis: The Adoption of Social Learning in Increasingly Variable Environments
The variability selection hypothesis predicts the adoption of versatile behaviors and survival strategies, in response to increasingly variable environments. In hominin evolution the most apparent adaptation for versatility is the adoption of social learning. The hypothesis that social learning will be adopted over other learning strategies, such as individual learning, when individuals are fac...
