– Must send updates early! (This is for everyone)

– Clojush macro issue: Tom’s solution seems to be working; it will be pushed with the oral bioavailability code

– Readings: whosoever suggested the reading, leads and will be expected to have a greater depth of understanding. Everyone else is expected to at least skim and have a high level view of the paper.

– The Valiant Challenge: Lee is still working on it, knows what to try next, but may have a conflict with Valiant over the definition of evolution

– Emphasis on escalating research to journal articles and making incremental progress on all projects.
File:Operator Equalisation, Bloat and Overfitting – A Study on Human Oral Bioavailability Prediction.pdf discussion

– New sample problem + new technique

– Possible future task: apply Silva work in Push, leveraging ease with which programs of varying size can be made using Push

– do an experiment/analysis of whether bloat really does protect against cross over (possible literature review?)
TSM

– mutation -> consider making uniform; four types: (1) deletes entry, (2) inserts entry, (3) mutate tag, (4) mutate value -> use the same probabilities as the initial random tag mutation

– toggle between eda and improving the machine
