A haploid-diploid evolutionary algorithm optimizing nanoparticle based cancer treatments (2022)
Book Chapter
Tsompanas, M., Bull, L., Adamatzky, A., & Balaz, I. (2022). A haploid-diploid evolutionary algorithm optimizing nanoparticle based cancer treatments. In I. Balaz, & A. Adamatzky (Eds.), Cancer, Complexity, Computation (237-251). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-04379-6_10

This paper uses a recent explanation for the fundamental haploid-diploid lifecycle of eukaryotic organisms to present a new evolutionary algorithm that differs from all previous known work using diploid representations. A form of the Baldwin effect h... Read More about A haploid-diploid evolutionary algorithm optimizing nanoparticle based cancer treatments.

Evolving Boolean regulatory networks with variable gene expression times (2021)
Book Chapter
Bull, L. (2021). Evolving Boolean regulatory networks with variable gene expression times. In Handbook of Unconventional Computing (247-259). World Scientific Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1142/9789811235726_0007

The time taken for gene expression varies not least because proteins vary in length considerably. This paper uses an abstract, tuneable Boolean regulatory network model to explore gene expression time variation. In particular, it is shown how non-uni...

Imitation programming unorganised machines (2013)
Book Chapter
Bull, L. (2013). Imitation programming unorganised machines. In X. Yang (Ed.), Artificial Intelligence, Evolutionary Computing and Metaheuristics: in the Footsteps of Alan Turing (63-81). Springer

In 1948 Alan Turing presented a general representation scheme by which to achieve artificial intelligence – his unorganised machines. Further, at the same time as also suggesting that natural evolution may provide inspiration for search, he noted tha... Read More about Imitation programming unorganised machines.

In this chapter we describe the use of a modern learning classifier system to a data mining task. In particular, in collaboration with a medical specialist, we apply XCS to a primary breast cancer data set. Our results indicate more effective knowled...

Learning Classifier Systems traditionally use a binary string rule representation with wildcards added to allow for generalizations over the problem encoding. We have presented a neural network-based representation to aid their use in complex problem... Read More about Backpropagation in accuracy-based neural learning classifier systems.
