Abstract:

  Evolutionary  computation has enjoyed an incredible growth in recent  years. This talk  highlights a few examples in evolutionary  computation in terms of its  applications, including data-driven modelling using the evolutionary  approach in materials engineering,
dynamic route optimisation for salting  trucks, multi-objective design  of hardware and software, neural network  ensemble learning for pattern classification, and online ensemble  learning in the presence of concept drifts. The primary objective of this  talk is to illustrate novel applications of various evolutionary  computation techniques,rather than to go into depth on any of the  examples. However, I would be delighted to go into the depth on any of  the topics if there is  an interest.

  Xin Yao is a  Professor (Chair) of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham,  UK, and directs the Centre of Excellence for Research in Computational  Intelligence and Applications (CERCIA,http://www.cercia.ac.uk) , which specialises in applied  research and knowledge transfer. He is also a Changjiang (Visiting) Chair  Professor (Cheung Kong Scholar) with the Nature Inspired Computation  and Applications Laboratory, School of Computer Science and  Technology, USTC.

  Prof. Yao is an IEEE Fellow and a  Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Computational Intelligence Society. His  major research interests include evolutionary computation, neural network  ensembles, and real world applications. He has given more than 50 invited  keynote and plenary speeches at conferences and workshops worldwide. He  has more than 300 referenced publications.

  Prof. Yao was  the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION  from 2003 to 2008, an Associate Editor or editorial board member of 12  other journals, and the Editor of the World Scientific Book Series on  Advances in Natural Computation. He was the recipient of the President"s  Award for Outstanding Thesis by the Chinese Academy of Sciences for his  Ph.D. work on simulated annealing and evolutionary algorithms in 1989. He  was the recipient of the 2001 IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Paper Award for  his work on evolutionary artificial neural  networks.
