Evolutionary Approach
Evolutionary approaches are increasingly used to solve complex optimization problems across diverse scientific domains, primarily aiming to discover optimal solutions or designs through iterative refinement and selection. Current research focuses on applying evolutionary algorithms like genetic programming, genetic algorithms, and evolution strategies to problems in machine learning (e.g., model architecture search, hyperparameter optimization, and explainable AI), robotics (e.g., morphology and control evolution), and systems modeling (e.g., discovering stochastic dynamical systems). These methods offer powerful tools for tackling computationally challenging problems where traditional approaches are insufficient, leading to advancements in areas such as automated machine learning, intelligent systems design, and the understanding of complex systems.
