Neuroevolution of a Recurrent Neural Network for Spatial and Working Memory in a Simulated Robotic Environment
Xinyun Zou, Eric O. Scott, Alexander B. Johnson +4
Animals ranging from rats to humans can demonstrate cognitive map capabilities. We evolved weights in a biologically plausible recurrent neural network (RNN) using an evolutionary…

Multitask Evolution with Cartesian Genetic Programming
Eric O. Scott, Kenneth A. De Jong
We introduce a genetic programming method for solving multiple Boolean circuit synthesis tasks simultaneously. This allows us to solve a set of elementary logic functions twice as…

A Quantum Model of Exaptation: Incorporating Potentiality into Evolutionary Theory
Liane Gabora, Eric O. Scott, Stuart Kauffman
The phenomenon of preadaptation, or exaptation (wherein a trait that originally evolved to solve one problem is co-opted to solve a new problem) presents a formidable challenge to…
