Johnson, Colin G. (2016) Fitness in Evolutionary Art and Music: A Taxonomy and Future Prospects. Fitness in evolutionary art and music: a taxonomy and future prospects, 9 (1). pp. 4-25. ISSN 1754-8853. E-ISSN 1754-8861. (doi:10.1504/IJART.2016.075406) (KAR id:69612)

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the idea of fitness in art and music systems that are based on evolutionary computation. A taxonomy is presented of the ways in which fitness is used in such systems, with two dimensions: what the fitness function is applied to, and the basis by which the function is constructed. A large collection of papers are classified using this taxonomy. The paper then discusses a number of ideas that have not been used for fitness evaluation in evolutionary art and which might be valuable in future developments: memory, scaffolding, connotation and web search.
