CALL FOR PAPERS

EGML-EC@GECCO-2024

3rd Workshop on Enhancing Generative Machine Learning with Evolutionary Computation

https://sites.google.com/view/egml-ec2024

Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO'24)

Melbourne, Australia, July 14 to 18, 2024

.Overview and Scope

Generative Machine Learning has become a key field in machine learning and deep learning.  In recent years, this field of research has proposed many deep generative models (DGMs) that range from a broad family of methods such as large language models (LLMs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), variational autoencoders (VAEs), Transformers, autoregressive (AR) models and stable diffusion models (SD).  Although these methods have achieved state-of-the-art results in the generation of synthetic data of different types, such as images, speech, text, molecules, video, etc., Deep generative models are still difficult to train, optimize, and fine tune. 

There are still open problems, such as the vanishing gradient and mode collapse in DGMs, which limit their performance. Although there are strategies to minimize the effect of those problems, they remain fundamentally unsolved. In recent years, evolutionary computation (EC) and related bio-inspired techniques (e.g. particle swarm optimization) and in the form of Evolutionary Machine Learning approaches have been successfully applied to mitigate the problems that arise when training DGMs, leveraging the quality of the results to impressive levels. Among other approaches, these new solutions include LLM, GAN, VAE, AR, and SD training methods or fine tuning optimization based on evolutionary and coevolutionary algorithms, the combination of deep neuroevolution with training approaches, and the evolutionary exploration of latent space. 

The workshop on Enhancing Generative Machine Learning with Evolutionary Computation (EGML-EC) aims to act as a medium for debate, exchange of knowledge and experience, and encourage collaboration for researchers focused on DGMs and the EC community. Bringing these two communities together will be essential for making significant advances in this research area. Thus, this workshop provides a critical forum for disseminating the experience on the topic of enhancing generative modeling with EC, presenting new and ongoing research in the field, and to attract new interest from our community.

.Topics of Interest

-Particular topics of interest are (not exclusively):

-Evolutionary prompt optimization for large language models

-Evolutionary operators based on large language models

-Evolutionary and co-evolutionary algorithms to train deep generative models

-EC-based optimization of hyper-parameters for deep generative models

-Neuroevolution applied to train deep generative architectures 

-Dynamic EC-based evolution of deep generative models training parameters

-Evolutionary latent space exploration (e.g. LVEs)

-Real-world applications of EC-based deep generative models solutions 

-Multi-criteria adversarial training of deep generative models

-Evolutionary generative adversarial learning models

-Software libraries and frameworks for deep generative models applying EC

  

All accepted papers of this workshop will be included in the Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO'24) Companion Volume.

 

.Important Dates

Submission opening: February 12, 2024

Submission deadline: April 8, 2024

Acceptance notification: May 3, 2024

Camera-ready and registration: May 10, 2024

The aim of the track of Ethics and Responsibility in AI (ERAI) is, firstly, to collect contributions describing innovative approaches to address ethical challenges in AI. Secondly, focusing on trustworthiness, explainability, and interpretability, we also aim to accept contributions on this subject to advance or improve responsibility and accountability in AI. Finally, to address the disparity between the proliferation of research and the need for practical solutions that also focus on social, ethical, and privacy aspects. Real-world applications, from design to implementation level, are welcome.
Submissions are encouraged on a variety of topics related to Ethics and Responsibility in AI including, but not limited to, the following:
•  Trustworthiness, explainability, and interpretability to promote Ethics and Responsibility in AI •  Social, ethical, and privacy aspects of Ethics and Responsibility in AI •  Metrics for evaluating Ethics and Responsibility in AI •  Human in the Loop for Ethics and Responsibility in AI •  Bias challenges in Ethics and Responsibility in AI •  Visualization and interaction strategies •  Applications of Ethics and Responsibility in AI
