Abstract
Knowledge discovery from data typically include solving some type of an optimization problem that can be efficiently addressed using algorithms belonging to the class of evolutionary and bio-inspired computation. In this chapter, we give an overview of the various kinds of evolutionary algorithms such as genetic algorithms, evolutionary strategy, evolutionary and genetic programming, differential evolution and co-evolutionary algorithms, as well as several other bio-inspired approaches like swarm intelligence and artificial immune systems. After elaborating on the methodology, we provide numerous examples of applications in astronomy and geoscience and show how these algorithms can be applied within a distributed environment, by making use of parallel computing which is essential when dealing with Big Data.
