Schoenauer, D. Snyers (eds.), Springer, LNCS 1063, Berlin, 259 --- 272 TITLE: Interactive Evolution in Simulated Natural Evolution AUTHORS:Jeanine Graf, Wolfgang Banzhaf
ABSTRACT: This paper demonstrates how interactive evolution can be applied to natural evolution. Evolutionary algorithms of selection and variation by recombination and / or mutation can be used to simulate biological evolution in a computer. Interactive evolution can be used to direct the development of graphical models that are simulations of their counterparts in nature. Interactive evolution thus can be used to evolve models of animals and plants. We shouw that interactivity of artificial evolution can serve as a useful tool for achieving progress in the ontogenesis of simulated models and might help paleontologists to solve problems in identifying missing links.

ABSTRACT: This paper demonstrates how interactive evolution can be applied to the extrapolation and growth of graphical models. A new operator called expansion is introduced which plays a significant role in interactive evolution. The expansion operator is based on time series analysis of evolutionary processes. We describe and demonstrate the function of the new operator. 
FILENAME: ep95gb.ps.gz (972 kB) SOURCE: Proc. of Int. Conference on Evolutionary Programming, San Diego, 1995 TITLE: Interactive Evolution of Images AUTHORS: Jeanine Graf, Wolfgang Banzhaf
ABSTRACT: Systems of selection and variation by recombination and/or mutation can be used to evolve images for computer graphics and animation. Interactive evolution can be used to direct the development of favorite designs in various application areas. Examples of the application of evolutionary algorithms to two-dimensional (2-D) bitmap images and the methods for three-dimensional (3-D) voxel images are indicated. We show that artificial evolution can serve as a useful tool for achieving flexibility and complexity in image design with only a moderate amount of user-input and detailed knowledge.
