Pereira","Fernando G. Lobo"],"abstract":"The Parameter-less Genetic Algorithm was first presented by Harik and Lobo in\n1999 as an alternative to the usual trial-and-error method of finding, for each\ngiven problem, an acceptable set-up of the parameter values of the genetic\nalgorithm. Since then, the same strategy has been successfully applied to\ncreate parameter-less versions of other population-based search algorithms such\nas the Extended Compact Genetic Algorithm and the Hierarchical Bayesian\nOptimization Algorithm. This report describes a Java implementation,\nParameter-less Evolutionary Algorithm (P-EAJava), that integrates several\nparameter-less evolutionary algorithms into a single platform. Along with a\nbrief description of P-EAJava, we also provide detailed instructions on how to\nuse it, how to implement new problems, and how to generate new parameter-less\nversions of evolutionary algorithms.\n  At present time, P-EAJava already includes parameter-less versions of the\nSimple Genetic Algorithm, the Extended Compact Genetic Algorithm, the\nUnivariate Marginal Distribution Algorithm, and the Hierarchical Bayesian\nOptimization Algorithm. The source and binary files of the Java implementation\nof P-EAJava are available for free download at\nhttps://github.com/JoseCPereira/2015ParameterlessEvolutionaryAlgorithmsJava.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.08694v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1506.08694v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-java-implementation-of-parameter-less","repo_url":"https://github.com/JoseCPereira/2015ParameterlessEvolutionaryAlgorithmsJava","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"bayesian-optimization","task_name":"Bayesian Optimization"},{"task_slug":"evolutionary-algorithms","task_name":"Evolutionary Algorithms"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
