I. Welcome
On this page you can
find the course syllabus and projects, and also some links to
interesting EA-related content.

I will post important updates and other announcements to this group.
II. Syllabus
Here is the list of
topics we will cover in the course:
syllabus.
There will be two
programming projects (50% of the grade) and the final exam will comprise the
remaining 50%.
III. Projects
You can submit the
exercises in pairs. Submission instructions appear within the
exercises.
And one more thing,
these are not "programming exercises" in the sense
that you just write a
bunch of code, compile it, and halleluiah it is working... The idea
behind each part is that you experiment with it, change the
parameters, play with all sort of bells and whistles and see how they
affect the algorithms... It is actually quite fun when you
get the hang of it!
IV. Grades
To appear soon.
V. Misc.
The following list contains the impact
factors of top journals amongst 102 journals under the category of
Artificial Intelligence (source: Thomson ISI Journal Citation
Reports). Two journals out of top 10 in AI are devoted to evolutionary
computation:
2nd place: IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation (impact
factor: 4.589)
8th place: Evolutionary Computation (impact factor: 3.103)
This list reflects the growing impact of evolutionary computation
within AI!
