Evolutionary Computation Research Group
The Evolutionary Computation Research Group at BI Lab is interested in
developing and analyzing evolutionary learning algorithms for real-world
problems such as identification of biochemical networks, design of molecular
computers, and disease diagnosis. Current research focuses on probabilistic
modeling of evolutionary computations, including Bayesian evolutionary
algorithms, sequentical Monte Carlo, and estimation of distribution algorithms, and its applications to the biological knowledge discovery.
