abstract = "Data-driven models were constructed for the
Productivity, CO2 emission, and Si content for an
operational Blast furnace using evolutionary approaches
that involved two recent strategies based upon
bi-objective genetic Programming and neural nets
evolving through Genetic Algorithms. The models were
used to compute the optimum tradeoff between the level
of CO2 emission and productivity at different Si
levels, using a Predator-Prey Genetic Algorithm, well
tested for computing the Pareto-optimality. The results
were pitted against some similar calculations performed
with commercial software and also compared with the
results of thermodynamics-based analytical models.",
