The evolutionary capacity of protein structures
In nature, one finds large collections of different protein sequences exhibiting roughly the same three-dimensional structure, and this observation underpins the study of structur...

Memory with memory: soft assignment in genetic programming
Based in part on observations about the incremental nature of most state changes in biological systems, we introduce the idea of Memory with Memory in Genetic Programming (GP), wh...

Kernel Polytope Faces Pursuit
Abstract. Polytope Faces Pursuit (PFP) is a greedy algorithm that approximates the sparse solutions recovered by 1 regularised least-squares (Lasso) [4,10] in a similar vein to (Or...

The average-case complexity of counting distinct elements
We continue the study of approximating the number of distinct elements in a data stream of length n to within a (1? ) factor. It is known that if the stream may consist of arbitra...

Optimizing through Co-evolutionary Avalanches
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...
