Abstract: Join us for a seminar on evolutionary computation, a fascinating field that mimics natural selection to solve complex problems. This presentation will delve into the core principles of evolutionary algorithms and their diverse applications. We'll explore how these algorithms are used for optimization, symbolic regression, and evolving intelligent opponents in video games.

Terence Soule's research focuses on the use of simulated evolution to evolve solutions to complex problems. Current projects include evolving control programs that allow multiple agents to cooperate effectively on exploration and classification problems, and evolving control systems modeled on the human nervous system. In addition to teaching and research, Soule has co-chaired several research conferences, including the European Conference on Genetic Programming (EuroGP) and the annual workshop on Genetic Programming Theory and Practice in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
