Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have long provided a flexible framework for solving challenging optimisation problems by mimicking natural evolutionary processes. When combined with multitask ...

Evolution is a very slow process, due largely to the fact that nature doesn't "know" in advance which features of an animal will be beneficial. A new AI-based algorithm does know, however, allowing it ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research explains stochastic gradient descent (SGD) neural network training, specifically implementing a bio-inspired optimization technique called differential ...

We imagine algorithms as computational formulas with standard and stable rules. They are, but in relation to the processors that process them. If the processors, architectures and operation of ...

Imagine a very complex problem—supply chain optimization, for example—in which a computer generates millions of trial solutions completely at random and then ...
