Applying evolutionary computation for evolving ontologies

In this paper, we describe a novel application of evolutionary computation, namely for evolving ontologies. The general algorithm of evolutionary ontologies follow roughly the same guidelines as any other genetic algorithms. However, we introduced a new genetic operator, called repair, which is needed in order to make the offspring viable. Experiments for the generation of user centered automatically generated scenes demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach.
