Combating Coevolutionary Disengagement by Reducing Parasite Virulence
2004
Evolutionary Computation
Inspired by studies of natural host-parasite systems, we show that disengagement can be avoided by selecting for individuals that exhibit reduced levels of "virulence", rather than maximum ability to defeat ...
While standard evolutionary algorithms employ a static, absolute fitness metric, coevolutionary algorithms assess individuals by their performance relative to populations of opponents that are themselves ...
Reduced Parasite Virulence In this section we introduce a novel technique for combating disengagement, inspired by the effects of parasite virulence upon the dynamics of naturally occurring hostparasite ...

Caring versus Sharing: How to Maintain Engagement and Diversity in Coevolving Populations
[chapter]
2003
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We demonstrate that moderating parasite virulence differs signiÞcantly from resource sharing, and that its tendency to prevent disengagement can also reduce the likelihood of coevolutionary optimisation ...
Here we explore the extent to which encouraging moderation in one coevolving population (termed parasites) can alleviate the problem of coevolutionary disengagement. ...
In this paper we present a biologically inspired method for combating coevolutionary disengagement by moderating parasite virulence. ...

Inspired by the behaviour of biological host-parasite systems, where the virulence of pathogens evolves over time, reduced virulence is the first domain-independent technique with tunable parameters that ...

Autonomous Virulence Adaptation Improves Coevolutionary Optimization
2011
IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation
Previous work has demonstrated that setting an appropriate virulence, v, of populations accelerates coevolutionary optimization by avoiding detrimental periods of disengagement. ...
Further experiments, in more complex domains of sorting networks and maze navigation, demonstrate AVA's efficiency over reduced virulence and the layered Pareto coevolutionary archive. ...
Conclusion AVA, a novel technique designed to combat disengagement by adapting the virulence of coevolving populations during runtime, has been shown to automatically find target virulence values for the ...
