From Galapagos to Twitter: Darwin, Natural Selection, and Web 2.0
One hundred and fifty years have passed since the publication of Darwin's world-changing manuscript "The Origins of Species by Means of Natural Selection". Darwin's ideas have proven their power to reach beyond the biology realm, and their ability to define a conceptual framework which allows us to model and understand complex systems. In the mid 1950s and 60s the efforts of a scattered group of engineers proved the benefits of adopting an evolutionary paradigm to solve complex real-world problems. In the 70s, the emerging presence of computers brought us a new collection of artificial evolution paradigms, among which genetic algorithms rapidly gained widespread adoption. Currently, the Internet has propitiated an exponential growth of information and computational resources that are clearly disrupting our perception and forcing us to reevaluate the boundaries between technology and social interaction. Darwin's ideas can, once again, help us understand such disruptive change. In this talk, I will review the origin of artificial evolution ideas and techniques. I will also show how these techniques are, nowadays, helping to solve a wide range of applications, from life science problems to twitter puzzles, and how high performance computing can make Darwin ideas a routinary tool to help us model and understand complex systems.
Large Scale Data Mining using Genetics-Based Machine Learning
We are living in the peta-byte era.We have larger and larger data to analyze, process and transform into useful answers for the domain experts. Robust data mining tools, able to cope with petascale volumes and/or high dimensionality producing human-understandable solutions are key on several domain areas. Genetics-based machine learning (GBML) techniques are perfect candidates for this task, among others, due to the recent advances in representations, learning paradigms, and theoretical modeling. If evolutionary learning techniques aspire to be a relevant player in this context, they need to have the capacity of processing these vast amounts of data and they need to process this data within reasonable time. Moreover, massive computation cycles are getting cheaper and cheaper every day, allowing researchers to have access to unprecedented parallelization degrees. Several topics are interlaced in these two requirements: (1) having the proper learning paradigms and knowledge representations, (2) understanding them and knowing when are they suitable for the problem at hand, (3) using efficiency enhancement techniques, and (4) transforming and visualizing the produced solutions to give back as much insight as possible to the domain experts are few of them.
This tutorial will try to answer this question, following a roadmap that starts with the questions of what large means, and why large is a challenge for GBML methods. Afterwards, we will discuss different facets in which we can overcome this challenge: Efficiency enhancement techniques, representations able to cope with large dimensionality spaces, scalability of learning paradigms. We will also review a topic interlaced with all of them: how can we model the scalability of the components of our GBML systems to better engineer them to get the best performance out of them for large datasets. The roadmap continues with examples of real applications of GBML systems and finishes with an analysis of further directions.

Data-intensive computing has positioned itself as a valuable programming paradigm to efficiently approach problems requiring processing very large volumes of data. This paper presents a pilot study about how to apply the data-intensive computing paradigm to evolutionary computation algorithms. Two representative cases (selectorecombinative genetic algorithms and estimation of distribution algorithms) are presented, analyzed, and discussed. This study shows that equivalent data-intensive computing evolutionary computation algorithms can be easily developed, providing robust and scalable algorithms for the multicore-computing era. Experimental results show how such algorithms scale with the number of available cores without further modification.

This document summarizes research using a Pittsburgh Learning Classifier System (LCS) called GAssist to predict protein structure by determining coordination numbers (CN). The researchers tested GAssist on a dataset of over 250,000 protein residues, comparing it to support vector machines, Naive Bayes, and C4.5 decision trees. While support vector machines achieved the best accuracy, GAssist produced more interpretable and compact rule sets at the cost of lower performance. The researchers analyzed the interpretability and scalability of GAssist for this challenging bioinformatics problem, identifying avenues for improving its accuracy while maintaining explanatory power.

Learning Classifier Systems for Class Imbalance Problems
The document discusses learning classifier systems (LCS) for addressing class imbalance problems in datasets. It aims to enhance the applicability of LCS to knowledge discovery from real-world datasets that often exhibit class imbalance, where one class is represented by significantly fewer examples than other classes. The author proposes adapting parameters of the XCS learning classifier system, such as learning rate and genetic algorithm threshold, based on estimated class imbalance ratios within classifiers' niches in order to minimize bias towards majority classes and better handle small disjuncts representing minority classes.

Meandre: Semantic-Driven Data-Intensive Flows in the Clouds
- Meandre is a semantic-driven data-intensive workflow infrastructure for distributed computing. It allows users to assemble modular components into complex workflows (flows) in a visual programming tool or using a scripting language called ZigZag.
- Workflows are composed of components, which can be executable or control components. Executable components perform computational tasks when data is available, while control components pause workflows for user interactions. Components are described semantically using ontologies to separate functionality from implementation.
- Data availability drives workflow execution in Meandre. When required inputs are available, components will fire and produce outputs to make data available for downstream components. This dataflow approach aims to make workflows transparent, intuitive, and reusable across
ZigZag: The Meandring Language
ZigZag is a new language for describing data-intensive workflows. It aims to make the Meandre infrastructure easier to use by allowing users to assemble complex data flows. The language has a new syntax and compiles workflows that can then be run on Meandre to process large datasets.

Do not Match, Inherit: Fitness Surrogates for Genetics-Based Machine Learning...
A byproduct benefit of using probabilistic model-building genetic algorithms is the creation of cheap and accurate surrogate models. Learning classifier systems---and genetics-based machine learning in general---can greatly benefit from such surrogates which may replace the costly matching procedure of a rule against large data sets. In this paper we investigate the accuracy of such surrogate fitness functions when coupled with the probabilistic models evolved by the x-ary extended compact classifier system (xeCCS). To achieve such a goal, we show the need that the probabilistic models should be able to represent all the accurate basis functions required for creating an accurate surrogate. We also introduce a procedure to transform populations of rules based into dependency structure matrices (DSMs) which allows building accurate models of overlapping building blocks---a necessary condition to accurately estimate the fitness of the evolved rules.
Towards Better than Human Capability in Diagnosing Prostate Cancer Using Infr...
Cancer diagnosis is essentially a human task. Almost universally, the process requires the extraction of tissue (biopsy) and examination of its microstructure by a human. To improve diagnoses based on limited and inconsistent morphologic knowledge, a new approach has recently been proposed that uses molecular spectroscopic imaging to utilize microscopic chemical composition for diagnoses. In contrast to visible imaging, the approach results in very large data sets as each pixel contains the entire molecular vibrational spectroscopy data from all chemical species. Here, we propose data handling and analysis strategies to allow computer-based diagnosis of human prostate cancer by applying a novel genetics-based machine learning technique ({\tt NAX}). We apply this technique to demonstrate both fast learning and accurate classification that, additionally, scales well with parallelization. Preliminary results demonstrate that this approach can improve current clinical practice in diagnosing prostate cancer.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.Recently uploaded (20)
