Evolution Petroleum Corporation

Evolution Petroleum Corporation (NYSE American: EPM) is a Houston-based energy company that holds non-operated working, mineral, and royalty interests in US oil and gas properties.

Evolution strategies

Evolution strategies are a class of evolutionary algorithms for black-box optimization, developed in the 1960s at the Technical University of Berlin, using mutation and selection without gradients.

Evolution strategy

An evolution strategy is a black-box optimization algorithm that improves candidate solutions through mutation, recombination, and selection, developed by Ingo Rechenberg and Hans-Paul Schwefel in the 1970s.

Evolutionary algorithm

An evolutionary algorithm (EA), or artificial evolution, is a stochastic optimization method inspired by biological evolution, spanning genetic algorithms and evolution strategies; NASA flew an antenna it designed.

Evolutionary clustering

Evolutionary clustering is a data mining method for time-stamped data that produces one clustering per time step, balancing fit to current data against stability from the previous step.

Evolutionary computation

Evolutionary computation is a group of search and optimization techniques that mimics biological evolution, maintaining populations of candidate solutions that improve through selection, mutation, and recombination.

Evolutionary multiobjective optimization

Evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO) is a family of population-based algorithms that use evolutionary search to approximate the Pareto optimal set of problems with several conflicting objectives in one run.

Evolutionary programming

Evolutionary programming is a family of stochastic optimization algorithms that evolves candidate solutions through mutation and selection alone, without crossover, conceived by Lawrence J. Fogel in 1960.

Evolutionary reinforcement learning

Evolutionary reinforcement learning (ERL, also written EvoRL) is a family of machine learning methods combining evolutionary algorithms with reinforcement learning to improve exploration and robustness in deep RL.

Evolutionary robotics

Evolutionary robotics is a robotics and artificial intelligence field that automatically designs robots through artificial selection, evolving controllers and body plans rather than hand-engineering them.

EvolutionaryScale

EvolutionaryScale is a biology AI company founded in 2023 by ex-Meta researchers, known for its ESM protein models and acquired by Chan Zuckerberg Biohub in 2025.

Evolv Technology

Evolv Technology is a Massachusetts-based security company whose Evolv Express walk-through system uses AI and electromagnetic sensing to screen people for weapons, sold by subscription since going public in 2021.

Evolvable hardware

Evolvable hardware applies evolutionary and other bio-inspired algorithms to create or optimize physical devices, or to let hardware adapt itself and recover from faults during operation.
