The Price equation reveals a universal force-metric-bias law of algorithmic learning and natural selection
Steven A. Frank
Diverse learning algorithms, optimization methods, and natural selection share a common mathematical structure, despite their apparent differences. Here I show that a simple notati…
Circuit design in biology and machine learning. II. Anomaly detection
Steven A. Frank
Anomaly detection is a well-established field in machine learning, identifying observations that deviate from typical patterns. The principles of anomaly detection could enhance ou…
Natural selection at multiple scales
Steven A. Frank
Natural selection acts on traits at different scales, often with opposing consequences. This article identifies the particular forces that act at each scale and how those forces co…
A biological circuit to anticipate trend
Steven A. Frank
Organisms gain by anticipating future changes in the environment. Those environmental changes often follow stochastic trends. The greater the slope of the trend, the more likely th…
Maladaptation and the paradox of robustness in evolution
Steven A. Frank
Background. Organisms use a variety of mechanisms to protect themselves against perturbations. For example, repair mechanisms fix damage, feedback loops keep homeostatic systems at…
