I want to thank everyone that participated in OBUPM-2008. The presentations were all very interesting and we had good participation from the audience. In particular I want to thank my fellow organizers, Martin Pelikan and Kumara Sastry. Without them, OBUPM would never have happened. Also thanks to Marc Ebner, the workshop chair, who had to deal with so many workshops at the same time.
Embedded below are four of the five presentations at OBUPM. When the last one is made available I will put it online also. These presentations can be downloaded from the OBUPM website here.
Thanks again and I hope to see you all at GECCO-2009!
The video of my GECCO-2008 tutorial on Probabilistic Model-Building Genetic Algorithms (PMBGAs) or Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) is now available online at Google Video:
Pier Luca Lanzi put up his cool video advertising GECCO-2009 Competitions on youtube. GECCO-2009 will take place in Montreal, Canada, on July 8-12, 2009. Check the video out below:
XCSF-Ellipsoids Java is an XCSF learning classifier system implementation using hyperellipsoidal conditions and recursive least squares predictions for function approximation. The code can be used to evaluate XCSF on several test functions with online visualization support for performance, prediction, and conditions. Other test functions or approximation problems can be easily implemented. The code was written by Patrick O. Stalph and Martin V. Butz from COBOSLAB.
The code can be downloaded from MEDAL Software page and the corresponding technical report can be found in the MEDAL Publications page.
GECCO-2009 will be the first GECCO conference in Canada. The conference will take place in Montreal, Canada on July 8-12, 2009 (Wednesday-Sunday). The deadline for submitting papers to GECCO-2009 is January 14, 2009. The general chair of GECCO-2009 is Franz Rothlauf.
