Representation in the (Artificial) Immune System (2009)
Journal Article
McEwan, C., & Hart, E. (2009). Representation in the (Artificial) Immune System. Journal of Mathematical Modelling and Algorithms, 8(2), 125-149. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10852-009-9104-6

Much of contemporary research in Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) has partitioned into either algorithmic machine learning and optimisation, or, modelling biologically plausible dynamical systems, with little overlap between. We propose that this dich... Read More about Representation in the (Artificial) Immune System.
