• abstract = "The premise behind all evolutionary methods is survival of the fittest and consequently, individuals require a quantitative fitness measure. This paper proposes a novel strategy for evaluating individual's relative strengths and weaknesses, as well as representing these in the form of a binary string fitness characterization (BSFC); in addition, as customary, an overall fitness value is assigned to each individual. Using the BSFC, we demonstrate both novel population evaluation measures and a pairwise mating strategy, comparative partner selection (CPS), with the aim of evolving a population that promotes effective solutions by reducing population-wide weaknesses. This strategy is tested with six standard genetic programming benchmarking problems.",

• uk_research_excellence_2014 = "The survival of the fittest characterises evolutionary computational methods, requiring fitness measures for individuals. This paper invents novel strategies for evaluating individual's relative strengths and weaknesses, and representing them in a fundamentally new binary string fitness characterisation (BSFC). A new rigorous paradigm is created by using the BSFC in proposing a pair-wise mating strategy, Comparative Partner Selection, in evolving a population that promotes effective solutions by reducing population-wide weaknesses. Published in a high impact factor journal, this represents a significantly promising development that subsequently led to successes in breast cancer detection, communications (IEEE TWC 2012), and condition monitoring applications.",
