Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Genetic Algorithms
and how they don’t learn it is a talk I gave at a session at the Society for Philosophy and Technology session (www.spt.org) at the American Philosophical Association meeting in Chicago a few weeks ago. The powerpoint point slides may be viewed here

The Genetic Argonaut has a piece on an Antarctic researcher who claims precedence on solving billion variable problems over IlliGAL. Professor Pangloss Van Thunder-ten-Tronckh claims precedent on many other innovations in genetic algorithms and evolutionary computation as well. Read the full story here.

All you genetic algorithmists who need a little touch up on your biological background, have I got the course for you, and it’s on sale right now. Stephen Nowicki’s, Biology: The Science of Life consists of 72, 30-minute lectures from the Teaching Company. I’m on lecture 21 or so, and it is fantastic. Nowicki artfully weaves in history, discovery, and mechanism in a tour de force of clarity. The graphics help illustrate key concepts and Nowicki’s lively lecture style keep things moving along and interesting.
I watch the lectures in the morning while I exercise, so they fit quite nicely into my day, but even if you have to make special time, this class is worth it. Go check it out here.
