Pete, First, thanks for the Charney link. For the past several years I have been working with connective Compositional Pattern Producing Networks (CPPNs) in HyperNEAT. http://eplex.cs.ucf.edu/papers/stanley_alife09.pdf Specifically, I have been using CPPN's for pattern discovery in evolving complex systems. Jason Gauci wrote this interesting introduction to unsupervised pattern learning in a simple checkers game using these techniques - an definite improvement on Blondie24: http://eplex.cs.ucf.edu/papers/gauci_aaai08.pdf Ken

Ruth Charney on Modeling with Cubes [Macromedia Flash Player] http://www.maa.org/news/102308charney.html The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) continues to build on their already solid online presence with the addition of this lecture by noted mathematician and scholar Professor Ruth Charney. This particular lecture was given at the MAA's Carriage House Conference Center in the fall of 2008 and it deals with how cubes can be used to represent a variety of systems. As Charney notes, "The geometry of these spaces is strange, complicated, and a lot of fun to study." Visitors to the site can watch several particularly lucid examples from Charney's talk, read her biography, and also read a detailed interview with her conducted by Michael Pearson.
