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.

Evolution of Parallel Cellular Machines

Moshe Sipper
TL;DR: This volume presents a number of systems, which are essentially generalizations of the well-known cellular automata (CA) model, which present an excellent point of departure for forays into parallel cellular machines.

Probabilistic incremental program evolution

TL;DR: This work compares PIPE to GP on a function regression problem and the 6-bit parity problem, and uses it to solve tasks in partially observable mazes, where the best programs have minimal runtime.

A new multi-gene genetic programming approach to nonlinear system modeling. Part I: materials and structural engineering problems

TL;DR: A new approach for behavioral modeling of structural engineering systems using a promising variant of genetic programming, namely multi-gene genetic programming (MGGP), which effectively combines the model structure selection ability of the standard GP with the parameter estimation power of classical regression to capture the nonlinear interactions.

Genetic Algorithms: Theory and Applications

TL;DR: Revised version of lectures notes of the lecture " Genetic Algorithms: Theory and Applications " held at the Johannes Kepler University, Linz, during the winter term 1999/2000.

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.
