| 説明 | Lee Graham at the Amazing Meeting 5 in Las Vegas, talking about his Java applet.One of the creationist arguments against evolution is built around "Irreducible Complexity" - if there's a mechanism that doesn't work if any of its pieces is missing, that mechanism can't have evolved. Lee Graham has written a relatively simple game (which, however, doesn't run in my browser, well, that's Java applets for ya), and a genetic algorithm to evolve players for the game, that refutes that theory by frequently - in about half the trials - evolving irreducibly complex players!This was a good talk. Although Lee is an Artificial Intelligence grad student, he explained genetic algorithms without AI jargon, and his software does things like animate motion between game "DNA" and the center of the screen where mutations take place to really make clear what's going on.In front of the speaker: Probably the ugliest poster of an event I've actually been to, ever. |
