Abstract
The necessary intervention of humans in interactive evolutionary computational systems has inherent drawbacks arising from the very nature of the algorithms, namely the human fatigue caused by the interaction and the boredom arising when users evaluate a large number of artifacts. To tackle these issues, in this paper we propose a human-centered framework that can be used to increase volunteer participation in collaborative interactive evolutionary computational (C-IEC) systems by using gamification techniques. A case study is presented where the model is applied in the development of a collaborative evolutionary interactive system.

Gradual Drifting of the User's Preference in Interactive Evolutionary Computation and its Application
CSSS '12: Proceedings of the 2012 International Conference on Computer Science and Service SystemThe difference between interactive evolution-ary computation (IEC) and traditional evolutionary computation (TEC) is that in IEC individuals' fitness is subjectively assigned by the user, while in TEC the fitness is objectively given by function or ...
