Cultural Learning in a Dynamic Environment: an Analysis of Both Fitness and Diversity in Populations of Neural Network Agents

Curran, Dara; O'Riordan, Colm - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 10 (2007) 4, pp. 3-3

Evolutionary learning is a learning model that can be described as the iterative Darwinian process of fitness-based selection and genetic transfer of information leading to populations of higher fitness. Cultural learning describes the process of information transfer between individuals in a...

Cultural Transmission Between and Within Generations

Acerbi, Alberto; Parisi, Domenico - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 9 (2006) 1, pp. 9-9

We describe some simulations that compare cultural transmission between and within generations (inter-generational vs intra-generational transmission) in populations of embodied agents controlled by neural networks. Our results suggest that intra-generational transmission has the role of adding...

Artificial Life Algorithm for Management of Multi-reservoir River Systems

Dessalegne, Tibebe; Nicklow, John - In: Water Resources Management 26 (2012) 5, pp. 1125-1141

algorithms are becoming a common means of meeting these objectives. This paper employs an artificial life algorithm, derived from … the artificial life paradigm. The algorithm is evaluated using standard optimization test functions and is subsequently … an artificial life algorithm with FLDWAV, a one-dimensional, steady flow simulation model. The resulting multi …

Artificial culture : identity, technology and bodies

Leaver, Tama - 2012

"Artificial Culture is an examination of the articulation, construction, and representation of "the artificial" in contemporary popular cultural texts, especially science fiction films and novels. The book argues that today we live in an artificial culture due to the deep and inextricable...

Individual Versus Social Survival Strategies

Cecconi, Federico; Parisi, Domenico - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 1 (1998) 2, pp. 1-1

The paper introduces the concepts of individual survival strategies (ISS) and social survival strategies (SSS) and presents three sets of simulations of a particular type of SSS: the Central Store (CS) strategy, according to which the individuals in a group contribute part of their resources to...

PROPERTIES OF SELF-REPLICATING CELLULAR AUTOMATA SYSTEMS DISCOVERED USING GENETIC PROGRAMMING

PAN, ZHIJIAN; REGGIA, JAMES; GAO, DONGHONG - In: Advances in Complex Systems (ACS) 10 (2007) su, pp. 61-84

We recently formulated an approach to representing structures in cellular automata (CA) spaces, and the rules that govern cell state changes, that is amenable to manipulation by genetic programming (GP). Using this approach, it is possible to efficiently generate self-replicating configurations...
