Vector Symbolic Architectures in Clojure

A few days ago I run into Carin Meier post titled Vector Symbolic Architectures in Clojure. Beside this point that I can really relate to […] I don’t have a lot of free time. When I do get a few precious hours to do some coding just for me, I want it it to be small enough for me to fire up and play with it in a REPL on my local laptop and get a result back in under two minutes. […] ...

Genetic Programming, The Multiplexer and DEAP

Learning classifier systems (LCS) and Genetics-Based Machine Learning (GBML) have been using the multiplexer problem as a toy problem because of its properties; among others, its dynamic dependencies based on the input values and the exponential nature of the required solution as a function of the number of inputs. There is a great introduction why the multiplexer is interesting for LCS and GBML systems at Wilson’s XCS field-defining paper. A simple definition [1] of the multiplexer is as follows: ...
