In a recent analysis, SFI Complexity Postdoctoral Fellow Yuanzhao Zhang and collaborator William Gilpin reported that one ...

Music is a universal language across time, peoples, and geographies, and also fundamental to our human experience, a result of our biological evolution. Despite musicality’s connection to both culture ...

Imholte, G. C.,Sauteraud, R.,Korber, B.,Bailer, R. T.,Turk, E. T.,Shen, X. Y.,Tomaras, G. D.,Mascola, J. R.,Koup, R. A.,Montefiori, D. C.,Gottardo, R. We present an ...

How does evolution produce sophisticated emergent computation in systems composed of simple components limited to local interactions? To model such a process, we used a genetic algorithm (GA) to ...

Much of the theoretical literature on costly signaling concentrates on the separating equilibria of continuous signaling games. At such equilibria, every signaler sends a distinct signal, and signal ...

For any real-world generalization problem, there are always many generalizers which could be applied to the problem. This chapter discusses some algorithmic techniques for dealing with this ...

The folding of RNA sequences into secondary structures is a simple yet biophysically grounded model of a genotype-phenotype map. Its computational and mathematical analysis has uncovered a ...

Trachtenberg, E.,Bhattacharya, T.,Ladner, M.,Phair, J.,Erlich, H.,Wolinsky, S. A genome-wide association study of people with incident human immunodeficiency virus ...

We develop a framework for mapping and analysing informal worker skills using microdata from nearly 1500 workers residing in the slums of Bangalore, India. Alongside econometric modelling, we employ ...

Arnold, C.,Stadler, P. F. Background: The Maximal Pairing Problem (MPP) is the prototype of a class of combinatorial optimization problems that are of considerable interest in bioinformatics: Given an ...
