title = "Adaptive linkage crossover",
abstract = "Effective application of genetic algorithms (GAs) to difficult problems is hindered by the mismatch between the crossover operators used and the problem-specific linkages. We propose a new linkage crossover operator that utilizes problem-specific linkages, exploiting probabilistic inference methodology. A new adaptive algorithm learns the nature of such linkages, and applies the learned knowledge to solve the problem. Experimental results are given, demonstrating that solutions better than traditional crossover operators are obtained, and the linkage adaptation process converges to meaningful linkage values.",
