Genetic Programming Techniques for Modelling and Design

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Computational intelligence is a branch of artificial intelligence that uses problem-solving algorithms inspired by phenomena seen in nature. My research is in genetic programming (GP). This is a computational intelligence technique inspired by Darwin's theory of evolution, which is used to automatically "breed" computer programs to solve a variety of problems. I am interested in the use of GP to solve problems in evolutionary design. This is a research area involving complex design problems found in diverse areas such as 3D modelling, architecture, art, biological networks, and others. A common theme in design fields is the assumption that solutions inherently require a high degree of human ingenuity and creativity. Furthermore, unlike other problems studied in GP, many different solutions are often possible for a given design problem. For example, there are a multitude of useful designs for an energy-efficient building.
