Abstract:

   We describe an interactive search algorithm inspired by the immune system. The algorithm learns what parts of the search space are not useful to help a user explore large parameter spaces efficiently. The algorithm is capable of finding consensus solutions for parties with different selection criteria. A simple implementation of the algorithm applied to selecting Biomorphs [#!Dawkins86!#] is presented.
