Memetic Engineering and Cultural Evolution
The current status of "memetics" and the meaning of "memetic engineering" are considered. A set of artificial society models are summarised which attempt to capture in abstracted form certain memetic processes. The main qualitative results gained from these models are discussed. The problematic nature of artificial society methodology and the application of results to the real world are explore...
متن کاملDynamic Categorization of Semantics of Fashion Language: A Memetic Approach
Categories are not invariant. This paper attempts to explore the dynamic nature of semantic category, in particular, that of fashion language, based on the cognitive theory of Dawkins’ memetics, a new theory of cultural evolution. Semantic attributes of linguistic memes decrease or proliferate in replication and spreading, which involves a dynamic development of semantic category. More specific...
متن کاملA Differential Evolution and Spatial Distribution based Local Search for Training Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Network
Abstract Many parameter-tuning algorithms have been proposed for training Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Networks (FWNNs). Absence of appropriate structure, convergence to local optima and low speed in learning algorithms are deficiencies of FWNNs in previous studies. In this paper, a Memetic Algorithm (MA) is introduced to train FWNN for addressing aforementioned learning lacks. Differential Evolution...
متن کاملA Comparison of Memetic & Tabu Search for the Cryptanalysis of Simplified Data Encryption Standard Algorithm
Memetic algorithm(MA) is a population based heuristic search approach for optimization problems similar to genetic algorithm. GAs, however, rely on the concept of biological evolution, but MAs, in contrast, and mimic cultural evolution. The cryptanalysis of simplified data encryption standard can be formulated as NP-Hard combinatorial problem. In this paper, a comparison between memetic algorit...
متن کاملVirtual Evolution – a Memetic Critique of Genetic Algorithms in Design
This paper discusses some issues in design theory arising from the use of genetic algorithms in architecture. The rationale for such programs derives from the iterative process of Darwinian natural selection, which has been likened to an algorithm, or ‘foolproof recipe’. However, while the products of these programs are often visually seductive, researchers rarely question the biological model ...
