Find below the presentation of the paper Beyond Homemade Artificial Data Sets by Núria Macià, Albert Orriols-Puig, and Ester Bernadó-Mansilla in the 2009 Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Systems (HAIS’09).
This work aims at creating boundedly difficult problems for data classification whose complexity moves through different dimensions. For this purpose, this work proposes the use of a multi-objective optimization procedure to create data sets that satisfy different criteria of complexity. Please, refer to a preprint of the paper for more information.
John H. Holland will give a keynote speech at GECCO-2009 on July 12, 2009 (Sunday), 10:40am-11:40am. The talk is entitled Genetic Algorithms: Long Ago [Past] and Far Away [Future] and the abstract of the talk follows:

John H. Holland will give a keynote speech at GECCO-2009 on July 12, 2009 (Sunday), 10:40am-11:40am. The talk is entitled Genetic Algorithms: Long Ago [Past] and Far Away [Future] and the abstract of the talk follows:
It was in the mid-50’s of the 20th century when I realized that Fisher’s fundamental theorem could be extended from individual alleles to co-adapted sets of alleles, without linearization. That led to a realization that recombination, rather than mutation, was the main mechanism providing grist for the natural selection mill. There was little theory concerning recombination in those days, but now recombination is a standard explanation for biological innovations, such as swine flu.
Much later, in the early 1990’s, GA’s provided the “adaptive” part of rule-based models of complex adaptive systems (CAS), such as the artificial stock market pioneered at the Santa Fe Institute. Tag-based signal processing occurs in systems as different as biological cells, language acquisition, and ecosystems. CAS models offer a unified way to study the on-going co-evolution of boundary and tag networks in these systems.
Another keynote speaker at GECCO-2009 is Demetri Terzopoulos, who will give the talk Artificial Life Simulation of Humans and Lower Animals: From Biomechanics to Intelligence on July 11 (Saturday) at 4.10pm-5.50pm. As if this wasn’t enough, GECCO-2009 will also feature an invited talk of Hans-Paul Schwefel at the Learning from Failures in Evolutionary Computation (LFFEC) Workshop, which is entitled Failures as stepping stones to success or per aspera ad astra.

The special session Knowledge extraction based on evolutionary learning, organized by Salvador García, Albert Orriols, and José Otero, was one of the opening sessions of the 4th international conference on hybrid artificial intelligent systems (HAIS 2009).
Its program, full of interesting talks that discussed the new trends for knowledge extraction processes by means of evolutionary algorithms, included two contributions from the GRSI entitled: Multiobjective evolutionary clustering approach to security vulnerability assessments and Beyond homemade artificial data sets, presented by Guiomar Corral and Albert Orriols respectively.
Guiomar Corral introduced an evolutionary multiobjective approach to cluster the devices of a network with similar vulnerabilities. This technique provides analysts with a map which is helpful to detect malicious attacks or unauthorized changes in the network.
Albert Orriols, in turn, addressed a hot topic in machine learning: the artificial data sets generation. He explained the importance to work under a controlled experimental framework and pointed some ideas to build it.
Salamanca will be for one more day a forum to exchange new ideas and present recent developments in the field of artificial intelligence.

Here is a good example of learning by doing, which was experienced in ALE2009. You will never learn how to cook paella attending a class, reading a document and writing an exam. You will learn by doing it!

See one of the issues of the workshop:
What does it take for learning to happen?
Some of the open questions we should reflect on as professors and educators: do we set the correct framework for learning? Are students motivated? Do we enforce learning by doing or just learning by reading and attending classes? Are we giving our students the right feedback, or are we just giving grades? Are we providing students with tools to digest and consolidate their knowlege, or are we just letting the students pass the exams?
