GECCO 2025 will host the Workshop on Evolutionary Generative Models in Málaga.

The city of Málaga will host the Workshop on Evolutionary Generative Models (EGM), which will take place as part of the GECCO 2025 Conference, from July 14 to 18, 2025. This event will bring together researchers and professionals from around the world interested in the use of generative models within the field of Evolutionary Computation.

The workshop will cover the latest advances in generative models, particularly those that integrate evolutionary techniques to generate data, solutions, or designs. Additionally, discussions will explore how modern generative models, such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) or diffusion models, can enhance the performance of evolutionary algorithms.

Main Topics of the Workshop

  • Evolutionary Computation as a Generative Model.

  • Use of Generative Models in Training and Hyperparameter Optimization of Evolutionary Algorithms.

  • Optimization and Adaptation of Generative Networks through Evolutionary Techniques.

  • Population Dynamics: Cooperative and Adversarial Approaches.

  • Real-World Applications.

This event will serve as a key meeting point for exchanging ideas and fostering collaboration between experts in generative models and Evolutionary Computation. The workshop is organized by renowned researchers, ensuring high-quality and relevant content.

Submission Formats

  • Research Papers (up to 8 pages).

  • Position Papers (up to 4 pages).

Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and published in the ACM Digital Library as part of the GECCO 2025 Companion Proceedings. Submissions of ongoing work or preliminary results are encouraged.

Additionally, authors developing software or technical tools will have the opportunity to present demonstrations or short presentations during the event.
