LCS & GBML Central under inspection

It is very common that NCSA machine get continual attacks over the net. Today I got a note from the security team that LCS & GBML Central may have been compromised. We are looking into it. As a precaution the automatic measures has been fired, that means, that the box is currently unroutable. Hope it […]

Abstract  In recent years evolutionary and immune-inspired approaches have been applied to content-based and collaborative filtering.
These biologically inspired approaches are well suited to problems like profile adaptation in content-based filtering and
rating sparsity in collaborative filtering, due to their distributed and dynamic characteristics. In this paper we introduce
the relevant concepts and algorithms and review the state of the art in evolutionary and immune-inspired information filtering.
Our intention is to promote the interplay between information filtering and biologically inspired computing and boost developments
in this emerging interdisciplinary field.

The Genie in the Machine: How Computer-Automated Inventing is Revolutionizing Law and Buisness

Robert Plotkin has just published a new book for general readers on computer-automated invention and its legal and business implications. I haven’t yet read it all the way through but I see that it focuses quite heavily on invention by means of genetic and evolutionary computation. The author consulted with many researchers in developing the ideas — including myself and several other GPEM editors and authors, listed in the acknowledgments — so I think that he is well informed about the underlying science and engineering.

The book is The Genie in the Machine: How Computer-Automated Inventing is Revolutionizing Law and Business, published by Stanford University Press, May 2009, ISBN 978-0804756990.

NIGEL 2006 revisited (Part I): Wilson and Goldberg

I finally finished transcoding the videos from NIGEL 2006 and started uploading them to Vimeo. Every week I will upload two of them following NIGEL 2006 agenda. I will also embed the slides that are already available on SlideShare, if available for the talk. Enjoy this first release, Wilson vs. Goldberg. I have also included the meeting introduction just for nostalgia purposes.

Transcoding NIGEL 2006 videos

Last week Pier Luca Lanzi was visiting IlliGAL. Yesterday, before he left for Chicago, we went for one last brunch.  He mentioned that he liked a lot the videos we shot during NIGEL 2006. Thinking about it we agreed would be useful to recover the videos and upload them into some of the usual video […]

Last week Pier Luca Lanzi was visiting IlliGAL. Yesterday, before he left for Chicago, we went for one last brunch.  He mentioned that he liked a lot the videos we shot during NIGEL 2006. Thinking about it we agreed would be useful to recover the videos and upload them into some of the usual video sharing site suspects. Currently they are hosted, for long term storage purposes, at NCSA’s web archive. I spent sometime retrieving them from the archive (they are pretty fat and encoded in wmv) and I stated transcoding it in m4a. My plan? Make them available via Vimeo and LCS & GBML Central. Also, I will be uploading the presentation slides to SlideShare and also make them available via LCS & GBML Central.

Update: The first two videos (Wilson and Goldberg) are already available at LCS & GBML Central.
