Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) represent a class of heuristic optimisation methods inspired by natural selection and Mendelian genetics. They iteratively evolve a population of candidate solutions ...

Large language models (LLMs) leverage unsupervised learning to capture statistical patterns within vast amounts of text data. At the core of these models lies the Transformer architecture, which ...

Evolutionary reinforcement learning is an exciting frontier in machine learning, combining the strengths of two distinct approaches: reinforcement learning and evolutionary computation. In ...

DeepMind, Alphabet Inc.’s artificial intelligence research unit, is assisting sister company Waymo with its efforts in the autonomous vehicle market. Researchers from DeepMind detailed the ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research uses full code samples to detail an evolutionary algorithm technique that apparently hasn't been published before. The goal of a combinatorial optimization ...
