However, as the core operation, existing crossover operators for tree-based GAs suffer from producing illegal offspring trees. Therefore, some global link information must be adopted to ensure the connectivity of the offspring, which incurs heavy computation. To address this problem, this article proposes a new crossover mechanism, called leaf crossover (LC), which generates legal offspring by just exchanging partial parent chromosomes, requiring neither the global network link information, encoding/decoding nor repair operations. Our simulation study indicates that GAs with LC outperform GAs with existing crossover mechanisms in terms of not only producing better solutions but also converging faster in networks of varying sizes.Computational photo quality evaluation is a useful technique in many tasks of computer vision and graphics, for example, photo retaregeting, 3-D rendering, and fashion recommendation. The conventional photo quality models are designed by characterizing the pictures from all communities (e.g., ``architecture'' and ``colorful'') indiscriminately, wherein community-specific features are not exploited explicitly. In this article, we develop a new community-aware photo quality evaluation framework. It uncovers the latent community-specific topics by a regularized latent topic model (LTM) and captures human visual quality perception by exploring multiple attributes. More specifically, given massive-scale online photographs from multiple communities, a novel ranking algorithm is proposed to measure the visual/semantic attractiveness of regions inside each photograph. Meanwhile, three attributes, namely 1) photo quality scores; weak semantic tags; and inter-region correlations, are seamlessly and collaboratively incorporated during ranking. Subsequently, we construct the gaze shifting path (GSP) for each
