In evolutionary search, a weak child can be a valuable ancestor that makes high-fitness regions reachable. Immediate-return control is blind to this delayed utility, penalizing mutations through their immediate offspring even when they open productive future lineages. We formalize this hidden dynamic as the time value...

We propose STRAT, an auxiliary task that trains deep reinforcement learning (RL) agents to predict a short textual trace of their own state. Inspired by human spatial navigation, the description combines landmark, route, and survey knowledge, tracking the agent's position, inventory, goals, and immediate progress. Envi...

A novel framework that integrates evolved decision trees generated from random seed-based vectors and Quality Diversity (QD) optimization to jointly address decision interpretability, predictive performance, and fairness is proposed.

This work introduces an Evolutionary Language Model that searches over natural-language policy descriptions and compiles typed programs for execution and shows that language can serve as a steerable, execution-grounded search representation over executable program space.

Large language models can generate executable programs, which makes it possible to search directly over procedural content generators rather than individual levels. We study this approach in Sokoban, Zelda, Dangerous Dave, and Lode Runner. Each run evolves complete Python generators through language-model mutation and...
