Using surrogate models in evolutionary search provides an efficient means of handling
today's complex applications plagued with increasing high-computational needs. Recent …

We present a review of the application of genetic programming (GP) and other variations of
evolutionary computation (EC) to the creative art of music composition. Throughout the …

Music pieces have been composed using a behavior-inspired evolutionary algorithm,
harmony search (HS). The HS algorithm mimics behaviors of music players in an …

Music expresses thoughts and emotions in artistic form and is made up of different
components including harmony, rhythm, and melody. Several musical elements are tied …

We focus on the development of artificial art critics. These systems analyze artworks,
extracting relevant features, and produce an evaluation of the perceived pieces. The ability …

One of the problems in the use of evolutionary computer systems in artistic tasks is the lack
of artificial models of human critics. In this paper, based on the state of the art and on our …

We present several practical improvements to the interactive evolution of 2D images, some
of which are also applicable to more general genetic programming problems. We introduce …

User fatigue is probably the most pressing problem in current Interactive Evolutionary
Computation systems. To address it we propose the use of automatic seeding procedure …

Abstract We discuss Evolutionary Computation, in particular Genetic Programming, as
examples of drawing inspiration from biological systems. We set the choice of evolution as a …

In this paper, we present an interactive genetic algorithm for the generation of human-
computer choreography, using motion capture technology. First, we introduce the four steps …
