abstract = "Selection pressure restraints the selection of
individuals from the current population to produce a
new population in the next generation. It gives
individuals of higher quality a higher probability of
being used to create the next generation so that
Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) can focus on promising
regions in the search space. An evolutionary learning
process is dynamic and requires different selection
pressures at different learning stages in order to
speed up convergence or avoid local optima. Therefore,
it desires selection mechanisms being able to
automatically tune selection pressure during evolution.
Tournament selection is a popular selection method in
EAs, especially genetic algorithms and Genetic
Programming (GP). This paper focuses on tournament
selection and shows that the standard tournament
selection scheme is unaware of the dynamics in the
evolutionary process and that the standard tournament
selection scheme is unable to tune selection pressure
automatically. This paper then presents a novel
approach which integrates the knowledge of the Fitness
Rank Distribution (FRD) of a population into tournament
selection. Through mathematical modelling, simulations
and experimental study in GP, this paper shows that the
new approach is effective and using the knowledge of
FRD is a promising way to modify the standard
tournament selection method for tuning the selection
pressure dynamically and automatically along
evolution.",
