I hit upon the paper titled "Immune Programming". On its first impression, it seemed to me that it is about programming the immune system. However, in actuality, the paper is about the automatic generation of computer programs using the approaches insp...

The Future of Computing
See [URL=http://www.nature.com/nature/focus/futurecomputing/index.html]Nature's Special issue[/URL] on Future of Computing. I will read it soon and make sure you read it too. Stay updated with the future. ...
Self-Aware rover in Mars may cheat humans..
First of all check out the news story at nature: http://www.nature.com/news/2006/060313/full/060313-11.html
Do you smell something fishy here? Well, I certainly do. The NASA people are planning to let the rovers decide which images are interesting...
Nanotech hacks Biology via Nanobiotechnology..
Cryptic huh? It does not matter if the title is comprehensible to you or not, you cannot escape the reality. And the reality is that the bridge between living and non-living is blurring with the coming age of nanobiotechnology. You might say "I have hea...
Fly-eating robot powers itself
A lil old news, but certainly very important one... Image a robot which does not need any human supervision, no manual energy needs, can survive in the wild.. Scary thought, huh! Well, cientists at the University of the West of England (UWE) have designe...
Artificial Neural Network to judge beauty?
Hi All,
Artificial Neural Networks have been trained to detect faces. However, is it possible to train a network to pass a judgement on how beautiful a face is? It can rate a face on some scale, say 1-10.
Secondly, can ANNs be trained to di...
A robot powered by Biology
This is a true example of biohacking and hopefully researches like this will continue to exploit biology for its complexity and flexibility.
Now to actual story. ""The Physarum polycephalum slime, which naturally shies away from light, controls ...
Explore sourcecode in Python
Ultimately, I have decided to release the code for my algorithm [URL=http://www.paraschopra.com/articles/explore/explore.php]Explore[/URL]. The main objective of this algorithm is to optimize a function or to search for a solution in a finite ‘nââ...
The Paradox of Intelligence
Yesterday, I was thinking that almost all approaches to Artificial Intelligence attempt to silumate parallelization. Be it neural networks, Genetic Algorithms, Searching methods, etc. All attempt to simulate techniques which depend upon parallelization....
Protein Structure Prediction using Neural Networks
Presently, I am coding a neural network for protein secondary structure prediction. Initially, I thought of predicting contact maps..... Presently, I am coding a neural network for protein secondary structure prediction. Initially, I thought of predicti...
