Research

Nowadays I focus on machine learning, deep learning, evolutionary computation, and general issues regarding AI.

In the past I dabbled in all kinds of stuff, including: artificial life, artificial neural networks (before they became deep learning…), artificial self-replication, bio-inspired computing, cellular automata, cellular computing,​ embryonic electronics, evolutionary robotics, evolvable hardware, A fuzzy-genetic approach to breast cancer diagnosis, game AI, and search-based software engineering.
