<br>
<br>
Following the success of the 2020 event, the 2nd Special Session on Evolutionary Machine Learning (EML) of EvoApps will provide a specialized forum of discussion and exchange of information for researchers interested in exploring approaches that combine nature and nurture, with the long-term goal of evolving Artificial Intelligence (AI).<br>
<br>
Giving response to the growing interest in the area, and consequent advances of the state-of-the-art, the special session covers theoretical and practical advances on the combination of Evolutionary Computation (EC) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques. <br>
<br>
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br>
- EC as an ML technique: Using EC to solve typical ML tasks such as Classification or Clustering<br>
- EC applied ML algorithms: Neuroevolution, Feature Selection, Feature Engineering, Evolutionary Adversarial Models<br>
- ML applied to EC: Surrogate-model design by ML for EC, Learning Problem Structure, ML for Diversity, Designing Search Strategies, Predicting Promising Regions, Using ML to Decrease Computational Effort<br>
- Real world applications issues: EC for Fairness, Robustness, Trustworthiness and Explainability; Green EML<br>
- Emerging topics: EC for AutoML; EC for Transfer Learning; EC for Multitasking; Evolving Learning Functions, Neurons and Linkage; EC for Verification and Validation of ML<br>
