Advancing the human experience with interactive evolutionary computation

We first overview the research trend of computational intelligence, discuss what comes next in the computational intelligence research, and conclude that humanized technologies would be one of the essential keywords of the possible research direction. Then, we take up interactive evolutionary computation (IEC) as one of the humanized technologies and show how IEC technology has spread to a wide variety of fields, what problems remain, and what kinds of challenges need to be solved, and how to make the technology practical.
