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.

Learning to control an inverted pendulum using neural networks

TL;DR: In this article, an inverted pendulum is simulated as a control task with the goal of learning to balance the pendulum with no a priori knowledge of the dynamics, and reinforcement and temporal-difference learning methods are presented that deal with these issues to avoid unstable conditions.
