Towards Intelligently Designed Evolvable Processors (2022)
Journal Article

Evolution-in-Materio is a computational paradigm in which an algorithm reconfigures a material’s properties to achieve a specific computational function. This paper addresses the question of how successful and well performing Evolution-in-Materio pro... Read More about Towards Intelligently Designed Evolvable Processors.

Electrical behaviour and evolutionary computation in thin films of bovine brain microtubules (2021)
Journal Article

We report on the electrical behaviour of thin films of bovine brain microtubules (MTs). For samples in both their dried and hydrated states, the measured currents reveal a power law dependence on the applied DC voltage. We attribute this to the injec...

Confidence Measures for Carbon-Nanotube / Liquid Crystals Classifiers (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper focuses on a performance analysis of single-walled-carbon-nanotube / liquid crystal classifiers produced by evolution in materio. A new confidence measure is proposed in this paper. It is different from statistical tools commonly used to e... Read More about Confidence Measures for Carbon-Nanotube / Liquid Crystals Classifiers.

Computing Based on Material Training: Application to Binary Classification Problems (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Evolution-in-materio is a form of unconventional computing combining materials' training and evolutionary search algorithms. In previous work, a mixture of single-walled-carbon-nanotubes (SWCNTs) dispersed in a liquid crystal (LC) was trained so that...

Solving Binary Classification Problems with Carbon Nanotube / Liquid Crystal Composites and Evolutionary Algorithms (2017)
Book Chapter

This paper presents a series of experiments demonstrating the capacity of single-walled carbon-nanotube (SWCNT)/liquid crystal (LC) mixtures to be trained by evolutionary algorithms to act as classifiers on linear and nonlinear binary datasets. The t... Read More about Solving Binary Classification Problems with Carbon Nanotube / Liquid Crystal Composites and Evolutionary Algorithms.

Data Classification Using Carbon-Nanotubes and Evolutionary Algorithms (2016)
Book Chapter

The potential of Evolution in Materio (EiM) for machine learning problems is explored here. This technique makes use of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) to influence the processing abilities of an un-configured physically rich medium, via exploitation o...

Training a Carbon-Nanotube/Liquid Crystal Data Classifier Using Evolutionary Algorithms (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Evolution-in-Materio uses evolutionary algorithms (EA) to exploit the physical properties of unconfigured, physically rich materials, in effect transforming them into information processors. The potential of this technique for machine learning proble... Read More about Training a Carbon-Nanotube/Liquid Crystal Data Classifier Using Evolutionary Algorithms.
