iGECCO – A Workshop on Interactive Evolution at GECCO 2019

Nature-inspired algorithms are powerful problem-solvers where a mathematical formulation of a problem can be developed.  However, for some applications, particularly in the arts and humanities, human subjectivity is required to enable the algorithms to produce useful outputs for human consumption.  Examples of this exist in evolutionary art, music and product design where the challenge for researchers is to develop systems that will make best use of user inputs but reduce human fatigue in interacting with the algorithm.  Furthermore, interactive evolution is beginning to be used in other, more scientific domains where the expression of objectives and constraints in a computable function is non-trivial or impossible.  This workshop will explore the development of nature-inspired techniques where human interaction plays a part in shaping the algorithm, solution development or selecting final solutions that meet human subjective criteria.  We aim to host an exciting and varied event at

iGECCO 2023 - Call for Papers

  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 more traditional application areas, optimising to a fitness function might result in a highly optimal solution that is not well suited to implementation in the real world. Incorporating human expertise into the optimisation process can yield useful results in both examples, and accordingly the work on interactive optimisation methods has matured in recent years. This workshop will provide an outlet for interactive optimisation research for the GECCO audience. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):    * Interactive generation of solutions.  * Interactive evaluation of solutions.  * Psychological aspect
