This book explores the intersection between explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) and evolutionary computation (EC). In recent years, the fields of XAI and EC have emerged as vital areas of study within the broader domain of artificial intelligence and computational intelligence. XAI seeks to address the pressing demand for transparency and interpretability in AI systems, enabling their decision-making processes to be scrutinised and trusted. Meanwhile, EC offers robust solutions to complex optimisation problems across diverse and challenging domains, drawing upon the principles of natural evolution. While each field has made significant contributions independently, their intersection remains an underexplored area rich with transformative potential.
This book charts a path towards advancing computational systems that are transparent, reliable, and ethically sound. It aims to bridge the gap between XAI and EC by presenting a comprehensive exploration of methodologies, applications and case studies that highlight the synergies between these fields. This book will serve as both a resource and an inspiration, encouraging researchers and practitioners within XAI and EC, as well as those from adjacent disciplines, to collaborate and drive the development of intelligent computational systems that are not only powerful but also inherently trustworthy.
Niki van Stein: Dr. Niki van Stein is an Assistant Professor of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) and Evolutionary Computing at Leiden University, The Netherlands. She leads the XAI research group, part of the Natural Computing Cluster within the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS). Her work focuses on integrating XAI principles into complex computational systems, particularly within evolutionary computation and optimization frameworks.
With a background in predictive maintenance, time-series analysis, machine learning and optimization, Dr. van Stein brings a multidisciplinary approach to her research. She has authored over 90 peer-reviewed publications on algorithmic interpretability and evolutionary computation methods and is actively involved in the academic community, serving as program chair of the IJCCI and EXPLAINS conferences, as editorial board member of the Evolutionary Computation journal and numerous other contributions. Dr. van Stein is passionate about making AI systems more transparent and accessible while pushing the boundaries of natural computing to solve real-world problems.
Anna V. Kononova: Dr Anna V. Kononova is an Assistant Professor of Efficient Heuristic Optimisation (EcHO) at Leiden University, the Netherlands. She leads the EcHO research group, part of the Natural Computing Cluster within the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science. Her research focuses on achieving order-of-magnitude efficiency improvements in solving heuristic optimisation problems by integrating elements of machine learning and robust algorithmic design.
With expertise in heuristic optimisation, machine learning, algorithm analysis and applied problem-solving, Dr Kononova takes a multidisciplinary approach to address complex challenges at an appropriate level of abstraction. She has authored over 75 peer-reviewed publications, contributing significant insights into the behaviour and performance of optimisation algorithms across a variety of contexts. Dr Kononova actively contributes to the scientific community, serving as the editorial board member of the Evolutionary Computation journal and organising leading conferences in the field, such as PPSN, EMO, GECCO and FOGA.
Dedicated to bridging the gap between theoretical research and practical implementation, Dr Kononova strives to make heuristic optimisation methods more accessible and impactful. Her work continues to advance the field, driving innovation and progress in natural computing.

Standard Business Terms and customer information
I. Standard business terms
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions of business apply for all contracts concluded with us as the supplier (preigu GmbH & Co. KG) via the websites AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of your own terms and conditions is explicitly rejected.
(2) A ?consumer' in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwh...
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
