A team of scientists has developed an advanced computer algorithm that can predict the toxicity of new chemicals better than standard animal tests. This breakthrough has the potential to spare ...

So the blind, purposeless generate-and-test of natural selection gradually turns into the deliberate, reflective, intentional generate-and-test of most of the methods in the sciences.

Portia is a genus of web-invading araneophagic jumping spiders known from earlier studies to derive aggressive-mimicry signals by using a generate-and-test algorithm ...

Meta plans to test out X's algorithm for Community Notes to crowdsource fact-checks that will appear across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. In a blog, Meta said the testing in the US would begin ...

We generate 2,639 test problems, which involve 99 items and are substantially larger than most of the previously used benchmark problems. Because there are no real-life test problems for combinatorial ...

In recent years, evolutionary algorithms have emerged as a robust framework for automating test data generation and optimising test coverage, particularly for complex scenarios such as path testing.

FANDANGO, a new open-source fuzzing tool, uses an evolutionary algorithm to automatically generate myriads of high-quality test inputs that satisfy defined constraints. Advancing language-based ...
