Mind Evolution also uses an “island” approach to make sure it explores a diverse set of solutions. At each stage, the algorithm creates separate groups of solutions that evolve within themselves.

“Evolution is the true innovation machine,” says Professor Arnold, explaining that nature’s design works like a powerful algorithm that can scale from molecules to entire eco-systems.

If you modify the basic differential evolution algorithm by periodically replacing a population item with a new randomly generated solution, you need to make sure you don't overwrite the current best ...

Scientists have developed a new algorithm that can predict how a protein could evolve to become highly effective or totally unproductive.

A new algorithm developed by computer scientists has revealed for the first time how genetic networks in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, evolve during the insect's life cycle. The new ...

Computer theorists have identified an algorithm to describe the strategy used by genes during sexual recombination. In doing so, they address the dueling evolutionary forces of survival of the ...
