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.

Balancing accuracy and parsimony in genetic programming

TL;DR: The essence of the parsimony problem is demonstrated empirically by analyzing error landscapes of programs evolved for neural network synthesis and an adaptive learning method is presented that automatically balances the model-complexity factor to evolve parsimonious programs without losing the diversity of the population needed for achieving the desired training accuracy.

Soft computing: the convergence of emerging reasoning technologies

TL;DR: Some of their most useful combinations are analyzed, such as the use of FL to control GAs and NNs parameters; the application of GAs to evolve NNs or to tune FL controllers; and the implementation of FL controllers as NNs tuned by backpropagation-type algorithms.

Political Optimizer: A novel socio-inspired meta-heuristic for global optimization

TL;DR: The results show that PO outperforms all other algorithms, and consistency in performance on such a comprehensive suite of benchmark functions proves the versatility of the algorithm.

Creating high-level components with a generative representation for body-brain evolution

TL;DR: Applying GENRE to the task of evolving robots for locomotion and comparing it against a non-generative (direct) representation shows that the generative representation system rapidly produces robots with significantly greater fitness.

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.
