    Last month at the GECCO-2019 conference the finals for the
    16th Annual (2019) "Humies" Awards were held. Three winners for
    Human-Competitive Results produced by Genetic and Evolutionary Computation
    are:


    GOLD $5000

    Their evolved, dynamic, self-optimizing algorithm produces, on-line,
    significantly better cell-edge throughput and less interference in a
    complex cellular telephone network than the algorithms written by
    humans or by other computer programs
