From Prediction to Prescription: Evolutionary Optimization of Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions in the COVID-19 Pandemic

1 code implementation28 May 2020 Risto Miikkulainen, Olivier Francon, Elliot Meyerson, Xin Qiu, Elisa Canzani, Babak Hodjat

Several models have been developed to predict how the COVID-19 pandemic spreads, and how it could be contained with non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as social distancing restrictions and school and business closures.

Enhanced Optimization with Composite Objectives and Novelty Pulsation

no code implementations7 Jun 2019 Hormoz Shahrzad, Babak Hodjat, Camille Dollé, Andrei Denissov, Simon Lau, Donn Goodhew, Justin Dyer, Risto Miikkulainen

This paper improves this approach further by introducing novelty pulsation, i. e. a systematic method to alternate between novelty selection and local optimization.
