Artificial Immune Systems - Models, algorithms and applications
Copyright © 2010 Academic Research Publishing Agency.This article has been made available through the Brunel Open Access Publishing Fund.Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) are computational paradigms that belong to the computational intelligence family and are inspired by the biological immune system. During the past decade, they have attracted a lot of interest from researchers aiming to develop immune-based models and techniques to solve complex computational or engineering problems. This work presents a survey of existing AIS models and algorithms with a focus on the last five years.This article is available through the Brunel Open Access Publishing Fun
Optimizing Neural Architecture Search using Limited GPU Time in a Dynamic Search Space: A Gene Expression Programming Approach
Efficient identification of people and objects, segmentation of regions of
interest and extraction of relevant data in images, texts, audios and videos
are evolving considerably in these past years, which deep learning methods,
combined with recent improvements in computational resources, contributed
greatly for this achievement. Although its outstanding potential, development
of efficient architectures and modules requires expert knowledge and amount of
resource time available. In this paper, we propose an evolutionary-based neural
architecture search approach for efficient discovery of convolutional models in
a dynamic search space, within only 24 GPU hours. With its efficient search
environment and phenotype representation, Gene Expression Programming is
adapted for network's cell generation. Despite having limited GPU resource time
and broad search space, our proposal achieved similar state-of-the-art to
manually-designed convolutional networks and also NAS-generated ones, even
beating similar constrained evolutionary-based NAS works. The best cells in
different runs achieved stable results, with a mean error of 2.82% in CIFAR-10
dataset (which the best model achieved an error of 2.67%) and 18.83% for
CIFAR-100 (best model with 18.16%). For ImageNet in the mobile setting, our
best model achieved top-1 and top-5 errors of 29.51% and 10.37%, respectively.
Although evolutionary-based NAS works were reported to require a considerable
amount of GPU time for architecture search, our approach obtained promising
results in little time, encouraging further experiments in evolutionary-based
NAS, for search and network representation improvements.Comment: Accepted for presentation at the IEEE Congress on Evolutionary

Evolutionary Computation in High Energy Physics
Evolutionary Computation is a branch of computer science with which,
traditionally, High Energy Physics has fewer connections. Its methods were
investigated in this field, mainly for data analysis tasks. These methods and
studies are, however, less known in the high energy physics community and this
motivated us to prepare this lecture. The lecture presents a general overview
of the main types of algorithms based on Evolutionary Computation, as well as a
review of their applications in High Energy Physics.Comment: Lecture presented at 2006 Inverted CERN School of Computing; to be
published in the school proceedings (CERN Yellow Report
