Guiding Neuroevolution with Structural Objectives.

Evolutionary computation
The structure and performance of neural networks are intimately connected, and by use of evolutionary algorithms, neural network structures optimally adapted to a given task can be explored. Guiding such neuroevolution with additional objectives rela...

Multi-task learning improves ancestral state reconstruction.

Theoretical population biology
We consider the ancestral state reconstruction problem where we need to infer phenotypes of ancestors using observations from present-day species. For this problem, we propose a multi-task learning method that uses regularized maximum likelihood to e...

Neuroevolution of a Modular Memory-Augmented Neural Network for Deep Memory Problems.

Evolutionary computation
We present Modular Memory Units (MMUs), a new class of memory-augmented neural network. MMU builds on the gated neural architecture of Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTMs), to incorporate an external memory block, similar t...

An Optimization Framework of Multiobjective Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm Based on the MOEA Framework.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm has become one of the popular optimization metaheuristics and has been proven to perform better than many state-of-the-art algorithms for dealing with complex multiobjective optimization problems. However, th...

Optimal Synthesis of Four-Bar Linkage Path Generation through Evolutionary Computation with a Novel Constraint Handling Technique.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
This paper presents a novel constraint handling technique for optimum path generation of four-bar linkages using evolutionary algorithms (EAs). Usually, the design problem is assigned to minimize the error between desired and obtained coupler curves ...

Using Compact Coevolutionary Algorithm for Matching Biomedical Ontologies.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Over the recent years, ontologies are widely used in various domains such as medical records annotation, medical knowledge representation and sharing, clinical guideline management, and medical decision-making. To implement the cooperation between in...

Inferring locomotor behaviours in Miocene New World monkeys using finite element analysis, geometric morphometrics and machine-learning classification techniques applied to talar morphology.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
The talus is one of the most commonly preserved post-cranial elements in the platyrrhine fossil record. Talar morphology can provide information about postural adaptations because it is the anatomical structure responsible for transmitting body mass ...

Evidence of Rentian Scaling of Functional Modules in Diverse Biological Networks.

Neural computation
Biological networks have long been known to be modular, containing sets of nodes that are highly connected internally. Less emphasis, however, has been placed on understanding how intermodule connections are distributed within a network. Here, we bor...

Harnessing the evolutionary information on oxygen binding proteins through Support Vector Machines based modules.

BMC research notes
OBJECTIVES: The arrival of free oxygen on the globe, aerobic life is becoming possible. However, it has become very clear that the oxygen binding proteins are widespread in the biosphere and are found in all groups of organisms, including prokaryotes...

Prediction of Apoptosis Protein's Subcellular Localization by Fusing Two Different Descriptors Based on Evolutionary Information.

Acta biotheoretica
The apoptosis protein has a central role in the development and the homeostasis of an organism. Obtaining information about the subcellular localization of apoptosis protein is very helpful to understand the apoptosis mechanism and the function of th...
