So much to do – so little time
Sorry for the lack of activity here – an EPSRC grant with Riccardo came through, which is big happy news. The downside is that there’s a ton of research work to be done in a very short period of time. We were lucky enough to have Ellery Crane visiting for the last two [...]
UMM students are just so cool!
As mentioned earlier, our paper “Semantic building blocks in genetic programming” with Brian Ohs (UMM ‘08) and Tyler Hutchison (UMM ‘07) was nominated for Best Paper at EuroGP 2008 in Naples, Italy.
We won!
That a paper co-authored with two undergraduates from a small, public, undergraduate liberal arts institution like the University of Minnesota, Morris, could win [...]

A heck of a party!
Last night’s unveiling of A Field Guide to Genetic Programming was a huge success! We had one of the poster “stalls” with 50 copies of the book that we’d purchased from Lulu as our initial “print run”. We were wearing cool t-shirts sporting that wonderful cover, had the nice poster shown to the [...]

Nothing like a little shameless self-promotion
I’ve been sitting on this for a while I waited for EuroGP to get their web site updated; they have, freeing me up to do a little unabashed chest-thumping, leavened with some praise for UMM’s excellent students.
A few weeks from now the Eleventh European conference on Genetic Programming (EuroGP) will happen in Naples [...]

Not quite a wave
Sometimes you’re just minding your own business, trying to get a little science done, and a little art pops out at you all unexpected.
What?!? You want to know where this comes from? All is revealed beneath the fold…

JOCP! At revision 400!
It’s pretty cool when you update your repository and see
At revision 400
We just hit that on the genetic programming book that Riccardo and Bill and I are working on; we’re currently averaging close to 10 commits a day here in the final stages. We hope to wrap it up in the next 1.5 weeks [...]

You know, basic editing and lit review = teh good
Just finished my GECCO reviewing, and I must say that is seriously sucks when people don’t attend to even the most basic of issues. Two things almost guaranteed to majorly annoy a reviewer:
Weird random floating fragments of text that are obviously the disemboweled remnants of some cut and paste action.
Only 8 entries in the [...]
N-grams and the evolution of programs
Which of the following was written by (a) me, (b) William Shakespeare, and (c) Charles Darwin?
“I would have sent to Rome that’s worthy death?”
“The naturalist looking at species as he might succeed from a fork low down in the separation of the species of any species in a more or less from their sap this [...]
