Resolving the paradox of evolvability with learning theory: How evolution learns to improve evolvability on rugged fitness landscapes
Loizos Kounios, Jeff Clune, Kostas Kouvaris +4
It has been hypothesized that one of the main reasons evolution has been able to produce such impressive adaptations is because it has improved its own ability to evolve -- "the ev…
How Evolution Learns to Generalise: Principles of under-fitting, over-fitting and induction in the evolution of developmental organisation
Kostas Kouvaris, Jeff Clune, Louis Kounios +2
One of the most intriguing questions in evolution is how organisms exhibit suitable phenotypic variation to rapidly adapt in novel selective environments which is crucial for evolv…
The evolutionary origins of modularity
Jeff Clune, Jean-Baptiste Mouret, Hod Lipson
A central biological question is how natural organisms are so evolvable (capable of quickly adapting to new environments). A key driver of evolvability is the widespread modularity…
