Genetic Programming: On the Programming of Computers by Means of Natural Selection

TLDR
This book discusses the evolution of architecture, primitive functions, terminals, sufficiency, and closure, and the role of representation and the lens effect in genetic programming.

System and method for reducing patterning variability in integrated circuit manufacturing through mask layout corrections

TL;DR: In this article, a system and method of modifying the mask layout shapes of an integrated circuit layout design to compensate for reticle field location-specific systematic CD variations resulting from mask writing process variations, lens imperfections in lithographic patterning, and photoresist process variations called PLC (Process-optimized Layout Compensation).

A review on probabilistic graphical models in evolutionary computation

TL;DR: This paper shows how probabilistic graphical models have been used in evolutionary algorithms to improve their performance in solving complex problems and gives a survey of Probabilistic model building-based evolutionary algorithms, called estimation of distribution algorithms, and compares different methods for probabilism modeling in these algorithms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Applications of Gene Expression Programming for Estimating Compressive Strength of High-Strength Concrete

TL;DR: The results reveal that machine learning proposed adamant accuracy and has elucidated performance in the prediction aspect and variable intensity and correlation have shown that deep learning can be used to know the exact amount of materials in civil engineering rather than doing experimental work.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary induction of sparse neural trees

TL;DR: A hybrid evolutionary method is developed for neural tree induction that combines genetic programming and the breeder genetic algorithm under the unified framework of the minimum description length principle and is successfully applied to the induction of higher order neural trees.

Journal ArticleDOI

Optimization by Simulated Annealing

TL;DR: There is a deep and useful connection between statistical mechanics and multivariate or combinatorial optimization (finding the minimum of a given function depending on many parameters), and a detailed analogy with annealing in solids provides a framework for optimization of very large and complex systems.

The perception: a probabilistic model for information storage and organization in the brain

F. Rosenblatt
TL;DR: The second and third questions are still subject to a vast amount of speculation, and where the few relevant facts currently supplied by neurophysiology have not yet been integrated into an acceptable theory as mentioned in this paper.
