————————————————

EvoStar comprises four co-located conferences run each spring at different locations throughout Europe. These events arose out of workshops originally developed by EvoNet, the Network of Excellence in Evolutionary Computing, established by the Information Societies Technology Programme of the European Commission, and they represent a continuity of research collaboration stretching back over 20 years.

EvoStar is organised by SPECIES, the Society for the Promotion of Evolutionary Computation in Europe and its Surroundings. This non-profit academic society is committed to promoting evolutionary algorithmic thinking, with the inspiration of parallel algorithms derived from natural processes. It provides a forum for information and exchange.

The four conferences include:

– EuroGP 28th European Conference on Genetic Programming
http://www.evostar.org/2025/eurogp/

– EvoApplications 28th European Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary and bio-inspired Computation
http://www.evostar.org/2025/evoapps/

– EvoCOP 25th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimisation
http://www.evostar.org/2025/evocop/

– EvoMUSART 14th International Conference (and 18th European event) on Artificial Intelligence in Music, Sound, Art and Design.
http://www.evostar.org/2025/evomusart/

*** Important Dates, Venue and Publication ***

Submission Deadline: November 1, 2024
Conference: 23 to 25 April 2025.
Venue: Trieste, Italy
All accepted papers will be printed in the proceedings published by Springer Nature in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Title

Sparse Correspondence Analysis for Contingency Tables

Zoom link

https://videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/94252308644

Abstract

We propose sparse variants of correspondence analysis (CA) for large contingency tables like documents-terms matrices used in text mining. By seeking to obtain many zero coefficients, sparse CA remedies to the difficulty of interpreting CA results when the size of the table is large. Since CA is a double weighted PCA (for rows and columns) or a weighted generalized SVD, we adapt known sparse versions of these methods with specific developments to obtain orthogonal solutions and to tune the sparseness parameters. We distinguish two cases depending on whether sparseness is asked for both rows and columns, or only for one set.

Title

Robust Principal Components by Casewise and Cellwise Weighting

Zoom link

https://videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/98707549093

Abstract

Principal component analysis (PCA) is a fundamental tool for analyzing multivariate data. Here the focus is on dimension reduction to the principal subspace, characterized by its projection matrix. The classical principal subspace can be strongly affected by the presence of outliers. Traditional robust approaches consider casewise outliers, that is, cases generated by an unspecified outlier distribution that differs from that of the clean cases. But there may also be cellwise outliers, which are suspicious entries that can occur anywhere in the data matrix. Another common issue is that some cells may be missing. This paper proposes a new robust PCA method, called cellPCA, that can simultaneously deal with casewise outliers, cellwise outliers, and missing cells. Its single objective function combines two robust loss functions that together mitigate the effect of casewise and cellwise outliers. The objective function is minimized by an iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) algorithm. Residual cellmaps and enhanced outlier maps are proposed for outlier detection. Simulations and real data examples illustrate the performance of cellPCA.
