The agenda for the Ninth International Workshop on Learning Classifier Systems (IWLCS’2006) can be found here. The workshop is coming with a list of very interesting papers and topics. We are looking forward to another edition of the workshop crowded of new and exiting ideas. If you are in GECCO, do not let it pass by ;). By the way, if you want to dig a little further into the learning classifier systems (LCS) and other genetics-based machine learning (GBML) world, check the website of the NCSA/IlliGAL Gathering on Evolutionary Learning (NIGEL’2006)....

A friend sent this Flash animation link earlier today to one of the e-mail lists I am subscribed. Everybody has gone nuts trying to get farther and farther. The last thing I heard was 577.6.

Yes, with the new update of the website GALE was unreachable for a while. Here it is the original code again. Please, take a few minutes to read this post. Hope you find it useful. Enjoy :D GALE? GALE (Genetic and Artificial Life Environment) is fine-grained parallel genetic algorithm for data mining. Its main contributions are simplicity and its knowledge-independent model. The simplicity of GALE relies in its fine-grained parallelism based on spreading the population (feasible solutions to the classification task) over a 2D grid....

As Kumara blogged here, we went to the Beale Street Music Festival that takes place during Menphis in May. Yup, as the name says it happens in May in Memphis, Tennessee. This year was an unique opportunity to see in the same festival names like B. B. King, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Hubbert Sumlin, and James Brown—to mention a few. The picture above is B. B. King roaring on “How blue can you get”....
