In some cases, this idea may even extend to cultivating the worst solutions. While this may seem counterintuitive, fitness diversity has shown its promise in algorithms such as Hierarchical Fair Competition and Convection Selection. Although these algorithms share many similarities, the role fitness diversity serves in each of them is different. In Hierarchical Fair Competition, fitness diversity facilitates a constant incorporation of novel genotypes into the solutions that are already good - a mechanism we dub First Glances - and discovery of solutions through the exploration of neutral networks of different fitness levels - which we name Late Bloomers. On the other hand, Convection Selection uses fitness diversity techniques to give broken solutions time and shelter necessary to cross larger valleys in the fitness landscape - a mechanism we call Second Chances. In this work, we compare these two algorithms and their respective mechanisms over a range of numerical and 3D structure design optimization problems. We analyze the extent to which their mechanisms are utilized, and measure the impact of these mechanisms on finding good solutions.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kamil Basiukajc</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maciej Komosinski</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Konrad Miazga</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fitness Diversification in the Service of Fitness Optimization: a Comparison Study</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference Companion (GECCO '22)</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2022</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.framsticks.com/files/common/FitnessDiversity.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACM</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boston, USA</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blindly chasing after fitness is not the best strategy for optimization of hard problems, as it usually leads to premature convergence and getting stuck in low-quality local optima. Several techniques such as niching or quality-diversity algorithms have been established that aim to alleviate the selective pressure present in evolutionary algorithms and to allow for greater exploration. Yet another group of methods which can be used for that purpose are fitness diversity methods. In this work we compare the standard single-population evolution against three fitness diversity methods: fitness uniform selection scheme (FUSS), fitness uniform deletion scheme (FUDS), and convection selection (ConvSel). We compare these methods on both mathematical and evolutionary design benchmarks over multiple parametrizations. We find that given the same computation time, fitness diversity methods regularly surpass the performance of the standard single-population evolutionary algorithm.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iwo Błądek</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maciej Komosinski</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Konrad Miazga</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mappism: formalizing classical and artificial life views on mind and consciousness</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foundations of Computing and Decision Sciences</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.framsticks.com/files/common/MappismConsciousness.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">44</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">55–99</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>5</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maciej Komosinski</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Konrad Miazga</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Harold Fellermann</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jaume Bacardit</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Angel Goni-Moreno</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rudolf M.

Foraminifera are simple unicellular organisms with very diverse morphologies. To analyze the mapping, a morphological similarity measure is needed that compares 3D structures. One of the key components of the similarity estimation algorithm is Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). Since this algorithm is heavily used and its performance is important, four SVD implementations have been compared in this work. Distance matrices of the phenotypes obtained for equally distant genotypes were computed using the similarity measure. For the visualization of the phenotype space, multidimensional scaling techniques were used. Visual comparison of the genotype and the phenotype spaces revealed characteristics and potential weaknesses of the analyzed model of foraminifera growth, and demonstrated usefulness of the proposed approach.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>5</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paweł Topa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maciej Komosinski</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maciej Bassara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jarosław Tyszka</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gruca, Aleksandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brachman, Agnieszka</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kozielski, Stanisław</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Czachórski, Tadeusz</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eVolutus: a configurable platform designed for ecological and evolutionary experiments tested on Foraminifera</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Man–Machine Interactions 4</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-23437-3_23</style></url></web-urls></urls><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Springer</style></publisher><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">978-3-319-23436-6</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>32</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Walter de Back</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eco-evolutionary experiments with situated agents</style></title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.framsticks.com/files/common/MSc_deBack_EcologyEvolution.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">masters</style></work-type></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Walter de Back</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">M.
