Title
"Using Evolutionary Algorithms to optimize earthquake risk models: Early Ideas"
Abstract

Evolutionary Algorithms are a class of meta-heuristics that use genetic principles to sample good solutions from a search space. They have shown great promise in a wide variety of optimization problems, specially in problem domains where the search space is multi modal and/or non-continuous. However, evolutionary algorithms have not yet seen a lot of use in the optimization of statistical models for earthquake forecasting. Our goal is to explore this combination.

In this talk, we will (briefly) explain what evolutionary algorithms are, and then proceed to outline our early proposals and results regarding their use for the generation of an RELM based earthquake forecast model.
