Call for Papers INTERACTIVE METHODS @ GECCO (iGECCO 2020) to be held as part of the 2020 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2020) July 8 th -12 th , Cancun, Mexico Organized by ACM SIGEVO https://gecco-2020.sigevo.org/ Submission Deadline for this workshop: April 3rd, 2020 Aim and Scope As nature-inspired methods have evolved, it has become clear that optimising towards a quantified fitness function is not always feasible, particularly where part or all of the evaluation of a candidate solution is inherently subjective. This is particularly the case when applying search algorithms to problems such as the generation of art and music. In other cases, optimising to a fitness function might result in a highly optimal solution that is not well suited to implementation in the real world. Incorporating a human into the optimisation process can yield useful results in both examples, and as such the work on interactive evolutionary algorithms (IEAs) has m...

We are excited to announce that the Interactive Methods workshop will be returning to GECCO for a second year running. This year's organising committee is: Matthew Johns (University of Exeter) Nick Ross (University of Exeter) Ed Keedwell (University of Exeter) Herman Mahmoud (University of Exeter) David Walker (University of Plymouth) More information can be found on the GECCO 2020 website here .
