[Kory] has been experimenting with genetic algorithms. Normally we’d expect his experiments to deal with tuning the variables in a control system or something, but he’s doing something much cooler.

We study a markovian evolutionary process which encompasses the classical simple genetic algorithm. This process is obtained by randomly perturbing a very simple selection scheme. Using the ...

The recently developed KIVA-GA computer code was used in the current study to optimize the combustion chamber geometry of a heavy-duty diesel truck engine and a high-speed direct-injection (HSDI) ...

A new algorithm developed by researchers at Columbia University can analyze thousands of variants across the genome and estimate a person's risk of developing chronic kidney disease -- and it works in ...
