Designing Neural Networks using Genetic Algorithms
TLDR
This semester, the RoboCup Keepaway Machine Learning testbed provided an excellent environment to train the authors' agents, but still needed to scale down the problem in order to do a feasibility study.
Tracking the Red Queen: Measurements of Adaptive Progress in Co-Evolutionary Simulations
TLDR
This work proposes a set of appropriate performance measures based on both genetic and behavioral data, and illustrates 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, Biology
    Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences
  • 1 April 2000
TLDR
This paper addresses the problems raised by new developments in sexual selection theory and animal signaling theory for evolutionary psychology's adaptationism by suggesting that the adaptationist criteria must recognize two typical kinds of psychological adaptations: naturally selected survival mechanisms and sexually selected fitness indicators.
