Human-based evolutionary computation (HBEC) is a set of evolutionary computation techniques that rely on humans innovation. Human-based evolutionary computation techniques can be classified into three general classes analogous to ones in evolutionary computation according to innovation operations humans perform. There are three basic types of innovation: initialization, mutation, and recombination. Here is a table illustrating which type of human innovation are supported in different classes of HBEC:
| Initialization | Mutation | Recombination | |
| Human-based global search | X | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Human-based evolution strategy | X | X | |
| Human-based genetic algorithm | X | X | X |
