Eelco den Heijer's page
|
Here's a small web page that contains my research interests and so
on. My
name is Eelco den Heijer, I was born in Heerhugowaard,
Netherlands in
1970.
I studied Cognitive Artificial Intelligence at
Utrecht University
in 1990.
In 1995 I graduated on the use of
genetic algorithms in address
block segmentation at
KPN Research in
Leidschendam under prof. dr. J. N. Kok. (currently at
University of
Leiden).
From 1995 until 2000 I worked for Syllogic, IQUIP Informatica and Objective Alliance on various projects. From 2000 until present day I work as a free-lance software architect and developer for various projects in the public and private sector in the Netherlands. |

art

Since September 2009 I am doing PhD research with Prof. dr. A.E.
Eiben
at the Computational Intelligence group at Vrije Universiteit
in
Amsterdam. I am investigating various aspects of evolutionary
art
and
am currently focusing on the use of various aesthetic
measures in
the
context of unsupervised evolutionary art systems.
Currently I am experimenting with different Multi-Objective Optimization Algorithms (MOOA) in the domain of evolutionary art. |
| I have implemented NSGA-II, SPEA2 and PESA and am doing experiments with these algorithms using three or more aesthetic measures. In the near future I want to investigate a number of existing aesthetic measures, create a number of new aesthetic measures borrowing ideas from psychology and neurosciences. Furthermore, I investigate alternative representations; I am now using the well-known Lisp-based S-expressions, and did several experiments with Scalable Vector Graphics (see publications). | |
