Query: Fitness Uniform Selection to Preserve Genetic Diversity   In evolutionary algorithms, the fitness of a population increases with time
by mutating and recombining individuals and by a biased selection of more fit
individuals. The right selection pressure is critical in ensuring sufficient
optimization progress on the one hand and in preserving genetic diversity to be
able to escape from local optima on the other. We propose a new selection
scheme, which is uniform in the fitness values. It generates selection pressure
towards sparsely populated fitness regions, not necessarily towards higher
fitness, as is the case for all other selection schemes. We show that the new
selection scheme can be much more effective than standard selection schemes.
