這一章對(duì)進(jìn)化計(jì)算進(jìn)行了溫和的介紹，進(jìn)化優(yōu)化是其中一個(gè)最重要的研究領(lǐng)域。與大多數(shù)基于簡化生物聯(lián)系的進(jìn)化計(jì)算的介紹不同，本章強(qiáng)調(diào)了進(jìn)化計(jì)算與人工智能和計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)之間的聯(lián)系。事實(shí)上，這本書的中心是解決問題，例如優(yōu)化，使用進(jìn)化計(jì)算技術(shù)。它不涉及生物模型的問題。關(guān)鍵詞進(jìn)化計(jì)算、全局優(yōu)化、組合優(yōu)化、進(jìn)化學(xué)習(xí)、進(jìn)化設(shè)計(jì)

This chapter gives a gentle introduction to evolutionary computation, a field in which evolutionary optimisation is one of the most important research areas. Unlike most introductions to evolutionary computation which are based on its simplified biological link, this chapter emphasises the link between evolutionary computation and artificial intelligence and computer science. In fact, this whole book is centred around problem-solving, e.g., optimisation, using evolutionary computation techniques. It does not deal with the issue of biological modelling.KeywordsEvolutionary computation global optimisation combinatorial optimisation evolutionary learning evolutionary design
