Workshop in Shenzen
Within the context of a workshop entitled „Evolutionary Computation and its Applications“, Prof. Bäck end of March gave a presentation on „Optimization for Machine Learning and Industry: Algorithms and Applications“ at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTECH) in Shenzen. The aim of the workshop was an exchange of [...]
Thomas Bäck wins the 2015 IEEE Award
Thomas Bäck wins the 2015 IEEE CIS Evolutionary Computation Pioneer Award for his contributions in synthesizing evolutionary computation. This award is a recognition of his pioneering research done in the early ninetees on developing a unifying algorithmic and theoretical framework for genetic algorithms, evolution strategies, and evolutionary programming. This framework [...]
Contemporary Evolution Strategies
Book published about evolutionary algorithms. Download the code of all algorithms on our website. Since the early 1990s, many algorithmic variations of so-called evolution strategies have been developed, characterized by the fact that they use the concept of self-adaption, and since the 1990s the so-called derandomization concept for strategy parameter [...]
Handbook of Natural Computing
Professor Thomas Bäck is the co-editor of a complete overview on Natural Computing now published by Springer. Natural Computing is a broad and disparate field of research marked by a dynamic mutual interaction between computer science and the natural sciences. The Handbook of Natural Computing is a collection of essays [...]
