Summary: Modeling other agents is a challenging task in artificial intelligence research. Traditional research often leads to monotonous behaviors for other agents, making it difficult for a subject agent to handle unexpected decisions. Evolutionary computation methods are used to generate diverse behaviors for other agents, effectively addressing complex agent behavior search and evaluation issues.

Summary: Machine learning (ML), the most promising paradigm for discovering deep knowledge from data, has been widely applied in practical applications such as recommender systems, virtual reality, and semantic segmentation. However, building high-quality ML systems for specific tasks is challenging due to the need for expert knowledge and high computation costs. This paper provides a comprehensive review of evolutionary machine learning (EML) methods, discussing concepts, taxonomy criteria, research problems, and limitations. The automatic design of ML using evolutionary computation is an increasingly popular research trend that can address the challenges of developing ML in large-scale practical applications.

Summary: In recent years, graph neural networks (GNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art performance in various fields due to their characteristics of neighborhood aggregation. However, the performance of GNNs is often suboptimal due to noisy or incomplete original graph data. To address this problem, a new Graph Structure Learning (GSL) method called evolutionary graph neural network (EGNN) has been introduced in this work. Unlike existing GSL methods, EGNN applies evolutionary theory to graph structure learning, using mutation operations to generate different graph structures and evolving a set of model parameters that adapt to the environment. Through an evaluation mechanism, only the progeny with good performance are retained for further optimization. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of EGNN and the benefits of evolutionary computation-based graph structure learning.

Summary: E-Learning is proven to be the only resort for traditional face-to-face learning methods during the COVID-19 pandemic, with academic institutions investing heavily in its adoption. A proposed holistic E-Learning service framework aims to ensure effective delivery and utilization of E-Learning Services for sustainable learning and academic performance, identifying key success determinants and their impact on student outcomes. Through empirical testing, the framework demonstrates the importance of factors such as Learner's Quality, Instructor's Quality, Information's Quality, System's Quality and Institutional Quality in determining the success of E-Learning services.
