The immune system, adaptation, and machine learning

TLDR
A dynamical model for the immune system is described that is based on the network hypothesis of Jerne, and is simple enough to simulate on a computer, and has a strong similarity to an approach to learning and artificial intelligence introduced by Holland, called the classifier system.

Probing complexity: thermodynamics and computational mechanics approaches to origins studies

TL;DR: This paper proposes new avenues for origins research that apply modern concepts from stochastic thermodynamics, information thermodynamics and complexity science, and presents proposals for the application of these concepts in both theoretical and experimental origins settings.

Idiotypic networks incorporating T-B cell co-operation. The conditions for percolation.

TL;DR: Whether the incorporation of helper T cells (Th) into these B cell models could cause a reduction in the percolation is analyzed to suggest two different idiotypic Th models should be developed: a non-MHC- restricted "ThId" model, and a "classical" MHC-restricted helper T cell model.

A Novel Immune Network Strategy for Robot Path Planning in Complicated Environments

TL;DR: Simulation results indicate that the proposed improved immune network algorithm (IINA) is characterized by high convergence speed, short planning path and self-learning, which solves the path planning well in complicated environments.

Somatic generation of antibody diversity

TL;DR: In the genome of a germ-line cell, the genetic information for an immunoglobulin polypeptide chain is contained in multiple gene segments scattered along a chromosome which are assembled by recombination which leads to the formation of a complete gene.

A mathematical model illustrating the theory of turbulence

TL;DR: In this article, the application of statistical analysis and statistical mechanics to the problem of turbulent fluid motion has attracted much attention in recent years, and the authors investigated a complicated system of nonlinear equations, in order to find out enough about the properties of the solutions of these equations that insight can be obtained into the various patterns exhibited by the field and that data can be derived concerning the relative frequencies of these patterns in the hope that in this way a basis may be found for the calculation of important values.
