European Artificial Intelligence Act – European Regulation of AI is on its Way
The “Proposal for Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down harmonized rules on Artificial Intelligence” – in short, the Artificial Intelligence Act – of the EU aims at regulating AI in Europe. The document is interesting, although time-consuming, to read, as it includes both a risk-based [...]
Best Paper Award at GECCO—Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference
The article “Learning the Characteristics of Engineering Optimization Problems with Applications in Automotive Crash” by Fu Xing Long, Bas van Stein, Moritz Frenzel, Peter Krause, Markus Gitterle and Thomas Bäck received the best paper award in the “real-world applications” track at the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO) in Boston, [...]
Finding Fast-to-Compute Proxies for Engineering Optimization Problems
Due to their time-consuming evaluation function, requiring a simulator run, it is difficult to understand the characteristics of engineering optimization problems that make them hard for optimization algorithms. Moreover, it makes it impossible to perform many optimization runs with these problems and to tune optimization algorithms towards improving their performance [...]
