报告题目:   Some Applications of Evolutionary Computation

时间: 6 月14日周五  16:00~17:00

地点: 图书馆  中心会议室



Abstract:

  Evolutionary computation has enjoyed an incredible growth in recent  years. This talk highlights a few examples in evolutionary  computation in terms of its applications, including data-driven modelling using the evolutionary approach in materials engineering,
dynamic route optimisation for salting trucks, multi-objective design  of hardware and software, neural network ensemble learning for pattern classification, and online ensemble learning in the presence of concept drifts. The primary objective of this talk is to illustrate novel applications of various evolutionary computation techniques,rather than to go into depth on any of the examples. However, I would be delighted to go into the depth on any of the topics if there is an interest.
