An adaptive multimeme algorithm for designing HIV multidrug therapies.
2007
This paper proposes a period representation for modeling the multidrug HIV therapies and an Adaptive Multimeme Algorithm (AMmA) for designing the optimal therapy. The period representation offers benefits in terms of flexibility and reduction in dimensionality compared to the binary representation. The AMmA is a memetic algorithm which employs a list of three local searchers adaptively activated by an evolutionary framework. These local searchers, having different features according to the exploration logic and the pivot rule, have the role of exploring the decision space from different and complementary perspectives and, thus, assisting the standard evolutionary operators in the optimizati…
Discrete Tomography Reconstruction Through a New Memetic Algorithm
2008
Discrete tomography is a particular case of computerized tomography that deals with the reconstruction of objects made of just one homogeneous material, where it is sometimes possible to reduce the number of projections to no more than four. Most methods for standard computerized tomography cannot be applied in the former case and ad hoc techniques must be developed to handle so few projections.
