Human-based evolutionary computation

Human-based evolutionary computation (HBEC) is a set of evolutionary computation techniques that rely on human innovation. Human-based evolutionary computation techniques can be classified into three more specific classes analogous to ones in evolutionary computation. 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

All these three classes also implement selection, performed either by humans or by computers.
