Abstract Domestication is a process of rapid evolution under the influence of human selection. We have domesticated the dog, but we have also evolved fruit trees and microorganisms. We'll look at the evolutionary processes at work in the domestication of …

Abstract A thorough understanding of the nervous system is essential for the development of neurotechnology. This involves the study of neurons, synapses and neural networks, as well as the biochemical and electrical processes that regulate communication …

Abstract Natural selection is based on three main principles : the principle of variation, the principle of differential reproductive success, and the principle of heredity. Although natural selection acts on phenotypes, it is mainly the genetics …

Abstract In this talk, we present the teleportation algorithm and the Markov chain importance sampling algorithm. These two algorithms share the common principle of obtaining a chain targeting a given distribution from a simple transformation of a Markov …

We now consider the generation of new data by sampling a probability distribution whose density is known. Sampling a probability distribution can be achieved with a deterministic but chaotic dynamical system, whose probability distribution is an invariant …
