Abstract
Techniques in evolutionary computation (EC) have improved significantly over the years, leading to a substantial increase in the complexity of problems that can be solved by EC-based approaches. The HUMIES awards at the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference are designed to recognize work that has not just solved some problem via techniques from evolutionary computation, but has produced a solution that is demonstrably human-competitive. In this chapter, we take a look across the winners of the past 10 years of the HUMIES awards, and analyze them to determine whether there are specific approaches that consistently show up in the HUMIE winners. We believe that this analysis may lead to interesting insights regarding prospects and strategies for producing further human competitive results.
