The pole balancing problem from the viewpoint of system flexibility
Léo Françoso Dal Piccol Sotto, Sebastian Mayer, Jochen Garcke · Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference Companion · 2022
Whereas evolutionary computation usually solves problems from scratch, organisms evolve under changing environments and possess flexibility, adapting from being good at one task to being good at a related task. There is abundant evidence that there are general properties that promote flexibility in nature, such as hierarchy, modularity, exploratory behavior, and degeneracys or neutrality.
