ICGA
1 June 1989

RoboCup has come a long way since it’s creation in ’97, and is a respected place for machine learning researchers to try out new algorithms in a competitive fashion. Expand

Tracking the Red Queen: Measurements of Adaptive Progress in Co-Evolutionary Simulations

D. Cliff, G. Miller
Biology, Computer Science
ECAL
4 June 1995

We propose a set of appropriate performance measures based on both genetic and behavioral data, and illustrate their use in a simulation of co-evolution between genetically specified continuous-time noisy recurrent neural networks which generate pursuit and evasion behaviors in autonomous agents.

Psychology, Medicine
The Quarterly Review of Biology
1 June 2007

Moral evolution theories have emphasized kinship, reciprocity, group selection, and equilibrium selection. Yet, moral virtues are also sexually attractive. Darwin suggested that sexual attractiveness… Expand

Women’s fertility across the cycle increases the short-term attractiveness of creative intelligence

Mutual Mate Choice Can Drive Costly Signaling Even Under Perfect Monogamy

Paul L. Hooper, G. Miller
Computer Science, Biology
Adapt. Behav.
1 February 2008

We present a simulation model of condition-dependent investment in a signal trait under conditions of perfect monogamy, equal initial offspring number, and differential offspring mortality based on inherited genetic quality minus signal cost. Expand
