Eugenic Evolution Utilizing A Domain Model

In this paper we introduce The Eugenic Algorithm with Modeling (TEAM), an evolutionary search algorithm that employs statistical analysis to promote construction of high-fitness chromosomes. A model of gene/fitness correlations is automatically generated to direct the construction process. When applied to the combinatorial optimization problems of finding a maximally weighted cut in a graph and minimizing the two-dimensional Rosenbrock function, TEAM performs well compared to other evolutionary algorithms at evolving high-fitness solutions.
