| Contents: | Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are population-based, stochastic search algorithms based on the mechanisms of natural evolution. We will study how to design representations and variation operators for specific problems. We also analyse convergence behavior and population sizing. The course will focus on the combination of EAs with local search heuristics to solve combinatorial optimization problems like graph bipartitioning, graph coloring, and bin packing. |
