Evolving Multiplier Circuits by Training Set and Training Vector Partitioning

摘要

Evolvable Hardware (EHW) has been proposed as a new method for evolving circuits automatically. One of the problems appearing is that only circuits of limited size are evolvable. In this paper it is shown that by applying an approach where the training set as well as each training vector is partitioned, large combinational circuits can be evolved. By applying the proposed scheme, it is shown that it is possible to evolve multiplier circuits larger then those evolved earlier.
