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 Algorithms for Multiobjective Optimization: Methods and Applications

TL;DR: The basic principles of evolutionary multiobjective optimization are discussed from an algorithm design perspective and the focus is on the major issues such as fitness assignment, diversity preservation, and elitism in general rather than on particular algorithms.

Building machines that learn and think like people.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent progress in cognitive science suggests that truly human-like learning and thinking machines will have to reach beyond current engineering trends in both what they learn and how they learn it.

Distilling Free-Form Natural Laws from Experimental Data

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for automatically searching motion-tracking data captured from various physical systems, ranging from simple harmonic oscillators to chaotic double-pendula, without any prior knowledge about physics, kinematics, or geometry, the algorithm discovered Hamiltonians, Lagrangians, and other laws of geometric and momentum conservation.

Gene Expression Programming: A New Adaptive Algorithm for Solving Problems.

Cândida Ferreira
- 01 Jan 2001 - 
TL;DR: Gene expression programming, a genotype/phenotype genetic algorithm (linear and ramified), is presented here for the first time as a new technique for the creation of computer programs with high efficiency that greatly surpasses existing adaptive techniques.

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.

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.
