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 optimization as applied to inverse scattering problems

TL;DR: In this article, an overview of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) as applied to the solution of inverse scattering problems is presented, focusing on the use of different population-based optimization algorithms for the reconstruction of unknown objects embedded in an inaccessible region when illuminated by a set of microwaves.

Automated synthesis of analog electrical circuits by means of genetic programming

TL;DR: This paper presents a single uniform approach using genetic programming for the automatic synthesis of both the topology and sizing of a suite of eight different prototypical analog circuits, including a low-pass filter, a crossoverfilter, a source identification circuit, an amplifier, a computational circuit, a time-optimal controller circuit,A temperature-sensing circuit, and a voltage reference circuit.

Classification and detection of computer intrusions

TL;DR: This document summarizes current capabilities, research and operational priorities, and plans for further studies that were established at the 2015 USGS workshop on quantitative hazard assessments of earthquake-triggered landsliding and liquefaction in the western hemisphere.

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.
