Background: Existing sequence alignment algorithms assume that similarities between DNA or amino acid sequences are linearly ordered. That is, stretches of similar nucleotides or ...
—In this paper, we propose a communication model of evolution and investigate its information-theoretic bounds. The process of evolution is modeled as the retransmission of infor...
Abstract. Using mobile agent systems, cooperative distributed applications that run over the Internet can be constructed flexibly. However, there are some problems: it is difficul...
Background: It has been suggested previously that genome and proteome sequences show characteristics typical of natural-language texts such as “signature-style” word usage ind...
We analyze the formal grounding behind Negative Correlation (NC) Learning, an ensemble learning technique developed in the evolutionary computation literature. We show that by rem...
