Special issue on evolutionary computationIn recent years, many researchers have been paid attention to machine learning, and at the same time attention has been focused on optimization algorithms.In the case where the objective function of the optimization problems is not given explicitly, such optimization problem is called "black-box problem".For example, the problem of finding optimal hyperparameters in machine learning is classified into black-box problems.In recent years, evolutionary computation has attracted attention as a method for solving such black-box problems.Evolutionary computation is an algorithm inspired by the evolution of organisms.This special issue focuses on recent progress in evolutionary computation from scientific viewpoints.
