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.

Evolutionary design of generalized polynomial neural networks for modelling and prediction of explosive forming process

TL;DR: A new encoding scheme is presented to genetically design the generalized GMDH-type neural networks in which the connectivity configuration in such networks is not limited to adjacent layers and generalization of network's topology provides optimal networks in terms of hidden layers and or number of neurons.

Deep symbolic regression: Recovering mathematical expressions from data via risk-seeking policy gradients

TL;DR: The proposed framework uses a recurrent neural network to emit a distribution over tractable mathematical expressions, and employs reinforcement learning to train the network to generate better-fitting expressions, which significantly outperforms standard genetic programming-based symbolic regression in its ability to exactly recover symbolic expressions.

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.
