evaluator          Geoff Burn defines evaluators E0, E1, E2 and E3 which       when applied to an expression, reduce it to varying degrees.       E0 does no evaluation, E1 it evaluates to {weak head normal       form} (WHNF), E2 evaluates the structure of a list, i.e. it       evaluates it either to NIL or evaluates it to a CONS and then       applies E2 to the second argument of the CONS.   E3 evaluates       the structure of a list and evaluates each element of the list       to {WHNF}.   This concept can be extended to data structures       other than lists and forms the basis of the {evaluation       transformer} style of {strictness analysis}.          (1994-12-12)

evolution strategy          (ES) A kind of {evolutionary algorithm} where individuals       (potential solutions) are encoded by a set of real-valued       "object variables" (the individual's "genome").   For each       object variable an individual also has a "strategy variable"       which determines the degree of mutation to be applied to the       corresponding object variable.   The strategy variables also       mutate, allowing the rate of mutation of the object variables       to vary.          An ES is characterised by the population size, the       number of offspring produced in each generation and whether       the new population is selected from parents and offspring or       only from the offspring.          ES were invented in 1963 by Ingo Rechenberg, Hans-Paul       Schwefel at the {Technical University of Berlin} (TUB) while       searching for the optimal shapes of bodies in a flow.          (1995-02-03)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
evolutionary algorithm          (EA) An {algorithm} which incorporates aspects of natural       selection or survival of the fittest.   An evolutionary       algorithm maintains a population of structures (usually       randomly generated initially), that evolves according to rules       of selection, recombination, mutation and survival, referred       to as genetic operators.   A shared "environment" determines       the fitness or performance of each individual in the       population.   The fittest individuals are more likely to be       selected for reproduction (retention or duplication), while       recombination and mutation modify those individuals, yielding       potentially superior ones.          EAs are one kind of {evolutionary computation} and differ from       {genetic algorithm}s.   A GA generates each individual from       some encoded form known as a "chromosome" and it is these       which are combined or mutated to breed new individuals.          EAs are useful for optimisation when other techniques such as       {gradient descent} or direct, analytical discovery are not       possible.   Combinatoric and real-valued function optimisation       in which the optimisation surface or fitness landscape is       "rugged", possessing many {locally optimal} solutions, are       well suited for evolutionary algorithms.          (1995-02-03)

evolutionary computation          Computer-based problem solving systems that use computational       models of evolutionary processes as the key elements in design       and implementation.          A number of evolutionary computational models have been       proposed, including {evolutionary algorithm}s, {genetic       algorithm}s, the {evolution strategy}, {evolutionary       programming}, and {artificial life}.          {The Hitchhiker's Guide to Evolutionary Computation       (http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/bngusenet/comp/ai/genetic/top.html)}.          {Bibliography       (http://liinwww.ira.uka.de/bibliography/Ai/EC-ref.html)}.          {Usenet} newsgroup: {news:comp.ai.genetic}.          (1995-03-02)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
evolutionary programming          (EP) A {stochastic} optimisation strategy originally conceived       by Lawrence J. Fogel in 1960.          An initially random population of individuals (trial       solutions) is created.   Mutations are then applied to each       individual to create new individuals.   Mutations vary in the       severity of their effect on the behaviour of the individual.       The new individuals are then compared in a "tournament" to       select which should survive to form the new population.          EP is similar to a {genetic algorithm}, but models only the       behavioural linkage between parents and their offspring, rather       than seeking to emulate specific genetic operators from nature       such as the encoding of behaviour in a genome and       recombination by genetic crossover.          EP is also similar to an {evolution strategy} (ES) although       the two approaches developed independently.   In EP, selection       is by comparison with a randomly chosen set of other       individuals whereas ES typically uses {deterministic}       selection in which the worst individuals are purged from the       population.          (1995-02-03)
