How the History of Changing Environments Affects Traits of Evolvable Robot Populations.

Artificial life
The environment is one of the key factors in the emergence of intelligent creatures, but it has received little attention within the Evolutionary Robotics literature. This article investigates the effects of changing environments on morphological and...

Evolving Multimodal Robot Behavior via Many Stepping Stones with the Combinatorial Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithm.

Evolutionary computation
An important challenge in reinforcement learning is to solve multimodal problems, where agents have to act in qualitatively different ways depending on the circumstances. Because multimodal problems are often too difficult to solve directly, it is of...

How signals interact in multimodal displays: Insights from a robotic frog.

The Journal of animal ecology
Caldart, M. V., M. B. dos Santos & G. Machado (2021). Function of a multimodal signal: a multiple hypothesis test using a robot frog Journal of Animal Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.13620. Animals can communicate using signals perceived b...

mCNN-ETC: identifying electron transporters and their functional families by using multiple windows scanning techniques in convolutional neural networks with evolutionary information of protein sequences.

Briefings in bioinformatics
In the past decade, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been used as powerful tools by scientists to solve visual data tasks. However, many efforts of convolutional neural networks in solving protein function prediction and extracting useful in...

Evolutionary artificial intelligence algorithms for the one-way road orientation planning problem with multiple venues: An example of evacuation planning in Taiwan.

Science progress
INTRODUCTION: In large-scale events such as concerts and sports competitions, participants often leave the venue at the same time to return to their respective destinations. Improper traffic planning and traffic light operation usually lead to traffi...

Predictive Models of Genetic Redundancy in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Molecular biology and evolution
Genetic redundancy refers to a situation where an individual with a loss-of-function mutation in one gene (single mutant) does not show an apparent phenotype until one or more paralogs are also knocked out (double/higher-order mutant). Previous studi...

CATH functional families predict functional sites in proteins.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Identification of functional sites in proteins is essential for functional characterization, variant interpretation and drug design. Several methods are available for predicting either a generic functional site, or specific types of funct...

Functional differentiations in evolutionary reservoir computing networks.

Chaos (Woodbury, N.Y.)
We propose an extended reservoir computer that shows the functional differentiation of neurons. The reservoir computer is developed to enable changing of the internal reservoir using evolutionary dynamics, and we call it an evolutionary reservoir com...

Searching for Models for Psychological Science: A Possible Contribution of Simulation.

Integrative psychological & behavioral science
The problem of the theoretical precariousness of psychology requires defining, at an epistemological level, its concepts and languages and the use of models for finding core concepts and building more or less 'hard' theories. After reviewing some mai...

Understanding collective behaviors in reinforcement learning evolutionary games via a belief-based formalization.

Physical review. E
Collective behaviors by self-organization are ubiquitous in nature and human society and extensive efforts have been made to explore the mechanisms behind them. Artificial intelligence (AI) as a rapidly developing field is of great potential for thes...
