Evolving Car Racing Through Simulated Evolution

Nice pointer from Martin Pelikan's blog. There is an interesting video of the simulated car racing.

Five Years Of Genetic Argonaut

Just before lunch, I reminded this humble blog is achieving its fifth anniversary this day, March 20. A lot of nice stuffs have happened since the beginnings five years ago and I am happy that something that started just as a manner to keep me interested in evolutionary computation could achieve some nice "results", such as the history of evolution strategies post and the publication of a post of mine on the ACM newsletter SIGevolution (Grazie, Pier Luca!).

Along all these years I made some new friends on the blogosphere -- most of them I have never met in person, but I am pretty sure they exist indeed :-) -- and I profound regret any mistake I may have committed to some of them at a given moment.

Despite the blog has been operating on an irregular posting basis, there are nice posts for the coming months. Just stay tuned! :)

Thank you so much for your visits after all these years!

Genetic Argonaut Blog Has Got Its First Publication

That's it, fellow readers! This blog has got its first publication! :)

This feat owes a lot to our friend Pier Luca Lanzi. Pier Luca kindly invited me (and Professor Schwefel too) to publish the interview I made with Professor Schwefel when evolution strategies celebrated their 45th anniversary.

I am astonished as I had never thought the interview could be published in an official newsletter of such an excellent lineage such as ACM SIGevolution.

If you would like to read the newsletter, see it here. Pier Luca made, as usual, a beautiful work and if I were you I would not miss a single issue of SIGevolution!

Thank you so much, Pier Luca, Professor Schwefel, Professor Eurípedes, and all the SIGevolution guys and gals, for this amazing opportunity!
