Genetic Programming for Musical Sound Analysis
This study uses Genetic Programming (GP) in develo** a classifier to distinguish between five musical instruments. Using only simple arithmetic and boolean operators with 95 features as terminals, a program ...

A Library to Run Evolutionary Algorithms in the Cloud Using MapReduce
We discuss ongoing development of an evolutionary algorithm library to run on the cloud. We relate how we have used the Hadoop open-source MapReduce distributed data processing framework to implement a single ...

Graph Grammars as a Representation for Interactive Evolutionary 3D Design
A new interactive evolutionary 3D design system is presented. The representation is based on graph grammars, a fascinating and powerful formalism in which sub-graphs, nodes and edges are iteratively rewritten ...

Defining locality as a problem difficulty measure in genetic programming
A map** is local if it preserves neighbourhood. In Evolutionary Computation, locality is generally described as the property that neighbouring genotypes correspond to neighbouring phenotypes. A representatio...

Combining Structural Analysis and Multi-Objective Criteria for Evolutionary Architectural Design
This study evolves and categorises a population of conceptual designs by their ability to handle physical constraints. The design process involves a trade-off between form and function. The aesthetic considera...

A Fine-Grained View of Phenotypes and Locality in Genetic Programming
The locality of the map** from genotype to phenotype is an important issue in the study of landscapes and problem difficulty in evolutionary computation. In tree-structured Genetic Programming (GP), the localit...

How Far Is It from Here to There? A Distance That Is Coherent with GP Operators
The distance between pairs of individuals is a useful concept in the study of evolutionary algorithms. It is particularly useful to define a distance which is coherent with, i.e. related to, the action of a parti...

A Fine-Grained View of GP Locality with Binary Decision Diagrams as Ant Phenotypes
The property that neighbouring genotypes tend to map to neighbouring phenotypes, i.e. locality, is an important criterion in the study of problem difficulty. Locality is problematic in tree-based genetic progr...

An Analysis of the Behaviour of Mutation in Grammatical Evolution
This study attempts to decompose the behaviour of mutation in Grammatical Evolution (GE). Standard GE mutation can be divided into two types of events, those that are structural in nature and those that are no...

Jive: A Generative, Interactive, Virtual, Evolutionary Music System
A novel paradigm and system for interactive generative music are described. Families of musical pieces are represented as functions of a time variable and several variables under user control. Composition/perf...

Elevated Pitch: Automated Grammatical Evolution of Short Compositions
A system for automatic composition using grammatical evolution is presented. Music is created under the constraints of a generative grammar, and under the bias of an automatic fitness function and evolutionary...

New-Generation Methods in an Interpolating EC Synthesizer Interface
This paper describes work on a graphical user interface (GUI) for sound synthesizers based on interactive evolutionary computation. The GUI features user-controlled interpolation for fast auditioning and evalu...

Evolutionary Computation Applied to Sound Synthesis
Sound synthesis is a natural domain in which to apply evolutionary computation (EC). The EC concepts of the genome, the phenotype, and the fitness function map naturally to the synthesis concepts of control pa...

Evolutionary GUIs for Sound Synthesis
This paper describes an experiment carried out to determine which, among several possible evolutionary and non-evolutionary sound synthesizer graphical user interfaces, is the most suitable for the task of mat...

Toward User-Directed Evolution of Sound Synthesis Parameters
Experiments are described which use genetic algorithms operating on the parameter settings of an FM synthesizer, with the aim of mimicking known synthesized sounds. The work is considered as a precursor to the...
