Combating coevolutionary disengagement by reducing parasite virulence.

Abstract excerpt

While standard evolutionary algorithms employ a static, absolute fitness metric, coevolutionary algorithms assess individuals by their performance relative to populations of opponents that are themselves evolving. Although this arrangement offers the possibility of avoiding long-standing difficulties such as premature convergence, it suffers from its own unique problems, cycling, over-focusing and disengagement....
