GP Plenary Talk by Astro Teller

Back to main GP Brainstorming page.


This talk was for all attendees across the eight fall AAAI symposia. It is therefore targeted towards a general AI audience, but is useful for specialists since it creates a bird's-eye perspective on our field.

Astro Teller's slides for his talk:


The Genetic Programming Symposium In a Nutshell
-----------------------------------------------

Techniques in Genetic Programming 

ADFs (Automatically Defined Functions) 

APPLICATIONS I:    Economics and Classification 

Genome Representation 

APPLICATIONS II:    Protein and Control 

Coevolution in Genetic Programming 

Memory in Genetic Programming 

Active Learning in Genetic Programming 


What We Have Done For You Lately
--------------------------------

GP has begun to improve on human performance in real world domains.
For Example:

        "Is region X of protein segment Y transmembrane?"

        "Is protein X in protein class Y?"

GP continues to contribute to Machine Learning in benchmark domains.
For Example:

        "Discovery that the 2-Pole balancing problem is linearly
         separable!"

	"Majority-rule 149 element Cellular Automata improvement
         over best 3 hand-written rules (and all learned rules)!"



Exciting Application Possibilities
----------------------------------

Applying Genetic Programming to Intrusion Detection

Evolving a Team / GPRobots-GPTeams

Genetic Programming for Robot control

Genetic Programming for Signal Classification and Understanding

Function Modeling / Model Building

Bargaining / Game Theory


The Stuff We Probably Won't Have A Handle On For Five Years
-----------------------------------------------------------

Automatic evolution of domain specific abstract datastructures

Evolution of programs that constructively use arbitrary loop and 
        recursion constructs

The "best" way(s) to allow/enforce code modularization in evolved 
        programs


The Stuff We Don't Even Talk About It's 
Going To Be So Long Til We Figure It Out
----------------------------------------

Operating System Evolution

GO World Champion

Complete NLP solution

Control System for Cyborg Soccer Player

Evolved Visual Cortex
