Deception (evolutionary computation)

Encyclopedia : D : DE : DEC : Deception (evolutionary computation)

Deception is where the gradient in the fitness landscape leads away from locations with the best possible fitness. This is because the genetic algorithm, genetic programming or other search technique, is deceived into being attracted towards local peaks rather than the global best-fitness location.
