List of active and recent project areas

This page is a working list of active and recent project areas of the Computational Intelligence Laboratory at Hampshire College.

Projects aiming to produce "human competitive results":


 * software engineering of complete but simple software applications
 * discovery of robust strategies for complex economic games
 * knowledge discovery in databases
 * sql query construction
 * grammar discovery
 * critical-example-discovery on Thomson's group (that's the math thing with Matt Noonan)
 * design of evolutionary computing systems (autoconstruction)

Other "human competitive result" areas that we've worked on and/or are in the background noise for some reason:


 * term discovery in finite algebras
 * coordination strategy discovery for swarms
 * quantum algorithm discovery
 * Go
 * music and art

Additional active/recent project areas and ideas in the air:


 * modularity in evolutionary computation (including work on tag-based modularity)
 * tournament-based node selection in genetic programming
 * evolution of altruism
 * tag-space machines (~Push with tags and ~without stacks)
 * type value map genetic programming
 * indirect and/or reified tags
 * models of wolf hunting strategies
 * models of mtDNA dynamics in populations over evolutionary time
 * historically-assessed hardness in genetic programming
 * trivial geography in genetic programming
 * evolving reward functions for reinforcement learning
 * automating and facilitating human creativity
