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.

Characterising and predicting cyanobacterial blooms in an 8-year amplicon sequencing time course.

TL;DR: It is found that bloom events significantly alter the bacterial community without reducing overall diversity, suggesting that a distinct microbial community—including non-cyanobacteria—prospers during the bloom.

Automated program repair through the evolution of assembly code

TL;DR: The paper explores advantages of assembly-level repair over earlier work at the source code level - the ability to repair programs written in many different languages; and the able to repair bugs that were previously intractable.

Compact Unstructured Representations for Evolutionary Design

TL;DR: Results demonstrates that Voronoi-based representations allow one to push further the limits of Evolutionary Topological Optimum Design by actually removing the correlation between the complexity of the representations and that of the discretization.

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.

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.
