Computational Intelligence
Problems related to ventral hernia are very common, and evaluating them using computational methods can assist in selecting the most appropriate treatment. This study collected data from over 3500 patients from different European countries observed during last 11 years (2012-2022), which were collected by specialists in hernia surgery. The majority of patients underwent standard surgical procedures, with a growing trend towards robotic surgery. This paper focuses on statistically evaluating the treatment methods in relation to patient age, body mass index (BMI), and the type of repair.

Anthropometric studies focusing on facial metrics and their proportions form an important research area devoted to observations of the appearance of the human skull. Many different applications include the use of craniometry for maxillofacial reconstruction and surgery. The paper and the associated dataset explores the possibility of using selected craniometric points and associated metric to observe spatial changes during the maxillofacial surgery treatment. The experimental dataset includes observations of 27 individuals.

Following the success of the previous editions at WCCI 2018 (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and CEC/GECCO 2019 (New Zealand and Prague, Czechia) we are launching a more challenging algorithm competition at major international conferences in the field of computational intelligence. This WCCI & GECCO 2020 competition proposes two testbeds in the energy domain:
