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.

Multiobjective optimization and multiple constraint handling with evolutionary algorithms. I. A unified formulation

TL;DR: In this article, a multiobjective genetic algorithm based on the proposed decision strategy is proposed, and a suitable decision making framework based on goals and priorities is subsequently formulated in terms of a relational operator, characterized and shown to encompass a number of simpler decision strategies.

Fuzzy adaptive particle swarm optimization

TL;DR: The experimental results illustrate that the fuzzy adaptive PSO is a promising optimization method, which is especially useful for optimization problems with a dynamic environment.

Evolving virtual creatures

Karl Sims
TL;DR: A genetic language is presented that uses nodes and connections as its primitive elements to represent directed graphs, which are used to describe both the morphology and the neural circuitry of creatures that move and behave in simulated three-dimensional physical worlds.

Machine Learning for Fluid Mechanics

TL;DR: An overview of machine learning for fluid mechanics can be found in this article, where the strengths and limitations of these methods are addressed from the perspective of scientific inquiry that considers data as an inherent part of modeling, experimentation, and simulation.

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.
