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.Abstract:

Global-best harmony search
TL;DR: A new variant of HS, called global-best harmony search (GHS), is proposed in this paper where concepts from swarm intelligence are borrowed to enhance the performance of HS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compositional pattern producing networks: A novel abstraction of development
TL;DR: Results produced with CPPNs through interactive evolution of two-dimensional images show that such an encoding can nevertheless produce structural motifs often attributed to more conventional developmental abstractions, suggesting that local interaction may not be essential to the desirable properties of natural encoding in the way that is usually assumed.

Statistical strategies for avoiding false discoveries in metabolomics and related experiments
David Broadhurst,Douglas B. Kell +1 more
TL;DR: A list of some of the simpler checks that might improve one’s confidence that a candidate biomarker is not simply a statistical artefact is provided, and a series of preferred tests and visualisation tools that can assist readers and authors in assessing papers are suggested.

Grammatical evolution
Michael O'Neill,Conor Ryan +1 more
TL;DR: Grammatical evolution is presented, an evolutionary algorithm that can evolve complete programs in an arbitrary language using a variable-length binary string and is compared to genetic programming.

Genetic algorithms in search, optimization, and machine learning
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the computer techniques, mathematical tools, and research results that will enable both students and practitioners to apply genetic algorithms to problems in many fields, including computer programming and mathematics.
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.

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
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.
