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.

Empirical modeling of plate load test moduli of soil via gene expression programming

TL;DR: In this article, new empirical models were developed to predict the soil deformation moduli using gene expression programming (GEP) using a series of plate load tests conducted on different soil types at depths of 1-24m.

Generalized Disjunction Decomposition for Evolvable Hardware

TL;DR: A new type of decomposition strategy for EHW, the "generalized disjunction decomposition" (GDD), which allows the evolution of large circuits never before evolved and reduces computational time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tracking Fish Abundance by Underwater Image Recognition

TL;DR: The automated recognition results were highly correlated with the manual counts and they were highly reliable when used to track fish variations at different hourly, daily, and monthly time scales, and could be easily transferred to other cabled video-observatories.

Discrimination of the variety and region of origin of extra virgin olive oils using 13C NMR and multivariate calibration with variable reduction

TL;DR: Eshuis et al. as discussed by the authors applied Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Principal Component Regression (PCR) and Partial Least Squares (PLS) to discriminate olive oils on the basis of their 13 C NMR spectra.

Semantic Backpropagation for Designing Search Operators in Genetic Programming

TL;DR: It is indicated that semantic backpropagation helps evolution to identify the desired intermediate computation states and makes the search process more efficient.

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.

Ecological Diversity and its Measurement

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define definitions of diversity and apply them to the problem of measuring species diversity, choosing an index and interpreting diversity measures, and applying them to structural and structural diversity.

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.
