| Introduction |
Integrated into this year's ICONIP-2000 conference
(http://braintech.kaist.ac.kr/ICONIP2000/) are several special
sessions. Papers contributed to the special sessions should be
submitted directly to and reviewed by the special session committee.
All papers accepted will appear in the conference proceedings. The
special session on "The interaction between evolution and learning"
will concentrate on the following topics:
- Information overlap between genetically fixed properties
of the neural system and acquired/learned qualities
- Models for the ontogenetic development of the brain and the role of
activity during development
- The evolution of variability and learning (biological paragon and models
- Darwinian and Lamarckian evolution - reverse coding and stability
- Neural models for evaluation during evolutionary optimisation
- Online learning of neural models during evolution
- The role of embodiment in evolution and learning during development
- Evolutionary optimisation of adaptivity in neural networks
- Applications of interactive evolution&learning in robotics, design
and aesthetic optimisation
Thus, we want to encourage submission of work dealing with
biologically inspired models of the interaction between
evolution and learning, as well as, more application oriented
results on the combined usuage of evolutionary and learning techniques,
both for the design and formation of neural systems, and for the
deployment of neural systems as estimators for evaluating the quality of
solutions during evolutionary optimisation with online learning.
The analysis of the interaction between evolution and learning, whether with
respect to development or to optimisation, will form the common theme for
this special session.
