+ Innovative Batik Design with an Interactive Evolutionary Art System
+ Yang Li, Chang-Jun? Hu, and Xin Yao
+ Journal of Computer Science and Technology 24(6): 1 Nov. 2009
+ "This paper describes an evolutionary art system, which explores the potential ability of evolutionary computation in Batik design. We investigate the use of Interactive Evolutionary Algorithm (IEA) in our system, with the goal of enhancing user's creativity to generate innovative Batik-like patterns. We focus mainly on two crucial aspects of the system. First, a new representation is proposed to capture the features in Batik and create innovative patterns through evolutionary processes. Second, an out-breeding mechanism is applied to our system, in order to sustain user's interest for a longer period. Our system can search a much larger design space than other systems and can avoid stuck in a local optimum. We describe the system in detail and the methodology we have adopted in the system. Our experimental results have shown that our newly developed system is e®ective and has great potentials in evolving novel Batik design."

+ Interactive Genetic Algorithms with Individual Fitness Not Assigned by Human
+ Dunwei Gong, Xin Yao, Jie Yuan
+ "Interactive genetic algorithms (IGAs) are effective methods to solve optimization problems with implicit or fuzzy indices. But human fatigue problem, resulting from evaluation on individuals and assignment of their fitness, is very important and hard to solve in IGAs. Aiming at solving the above problem, an interactive genetic algorithm with an individual fitness not assigned by human is proposed in this paper. Instead of assigning an individual fitness directly, we record time to choose an individual from a population as a satisfactory or unsatisfactory one according to sensitiveness to it, and its fitness is automatically calculated by a transformation from time space to fitness space. Then subsequent genetic operation is performed based on this fitness, and offspring is generated. We apply this algorithm to fashion design, and the experimental results validate its efficiency."
