Elements of evolutionary computation and molecular biology are combined to design a DNA evolutionary computation. The traditional test problem for evolutionary computation, OneMax problem is addressed. The key feature is the physical separation of DNA strands consistent with OneMax \ tness."

Multiple approaches have been developed in order to predict the protein secondary structure. In this paper, we propose an approach to such a problem based on evolutionary computation. The proposed approach considers various amino acids properties in order to predict the secondary structure of a protein. In particular, we will consider the hydrophobicity, the polarity and the charge of amino aci...

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...

This paper explores the use of growth processes, or embryogenies, to map genotypes to phenotypes within evolutionary systems. Following a summary of the significant features of embryogenies, the three main types of embryogenies in Evolutionary Computation are then identified and explained: external, explicit and implicit. An experimental comparison between these three different embryogenies and...

We emphasize that interactive evolutionary computation (IEC) can be used not only to optimize a target system based on an IEC user’s subjective evaluations but also to analyze the characteristics of the IEC user. We introduce four research works as concrete examples of this new research direction: measuring a perceived range for emotional expressions, finding unknown auditory knowledge through ...

We propose a new approach to easily creating 3D geometric models. A technique called interactive evolutionary computation (IEC) is introduced to accelerate user’s invention and inspiration of new shapes. The proposed IEC-based design system generates aesthetically pleasing shapes through the simulation of natural evolutionary processes. The user is responsible for specifying his/her subjective ...
