Interested in continual learning in optimisation systems, e.g. improving with experience, learning cross-domain and adapting to new domains? Submit short or full papers to our GECCO 24 wkshop tinyurl.com/3hn8n3rr deadline 8th April

Enjoying presenting our recent work in evolutionary robotics at the University of Cambridge at an international workshop on Embodied AI ⁦ENU Computing, Engineering & Built Environment⁩

I had a blast at the Embodied AI and Evolutionary Soft Robotics Workshop Cambridge University with amazing speakers like Josh Bongard Prof. Emma Hart Gusz Eiben Antoine Cully, Josie Hughes CREATE Lab , David Howard #MorphologicalComputation #EmbodiedIntelligence SoftLab Bristol University of Bristol

Yay! Our paper "Information Flow and Laplacian Dynamics on Local Optima Networks" was accepted at IEEE CEC 2024. A very enjoyable collab w/ Hendrik Richter from HTWK Leipzig. 🇩🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤟 ENU Computing, Engineering & Built Environment Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2401.09229

Great to see our new work on Generalised Early Stopping in Evolutionary Direct Policy Search, led by Etor Arza and in collaboration with Leni Le Goff published today in #ACM TELO doi.org/10.1145/3653024 ENU Computing, Engineering & Built Environment

Meet our 3rd plenary speaker of ANTS 2024 Prof. Emma Hart Edinburgh Napier University this October (9th-11th) in #Konstanz. Emma will show how to solve difficult optimisation problems through #artificialEvolution, including how to automatically design the #collectiveBehaviour of robot swarms!🤖🤖

Quentin Renau presenting our recent work on using probing trajectories to train algorithm selectors at #EvoStar24 in Aberystwyth ⁦ENU Computing, Engineering & Built Environment⁩
