Ireneusz Czarnowski, Piotr Jędrzejowicz, Ewa Ratajczak · 2001
this paper another metaheuristic which is an extension of population-based methods and adaptive memory programming techniques, introduced in [10], is investigated. It has been inspired by analogies to a social phenomenon rather than to a natural process. Whereas evolutionary computations emulate basic features of the natural evolution including natural selection, hereditary variations, the survival of the fittest and production of far more o#spring than are necessary to replace current generation, population learning algorithms (PLA) take advantage of the features common to organized education systems: - A huge number of individuals enter the system
