A critical appraisal of cooperative coevolution with new methods for collective evolution in complex problems

Abstract: This paper is about the evolutionary design of multi-agent systems. An important part of recent research in this domain has been focusing on collaborative coevolutionary methods. We expose the possible drawbacks of these methods, and show that for a non-trivial problem called the "Blind mice" problem, a classical GA approach in which whole populations are evaluated, selected and crossed together (with a few tweaks) finds an elegant and non-intuitive solution more efficiently than cooperative...
