This is a sampling of our publications. They are organized in reverse chronological order.

A New Kind of Modeling
(October 2009)

The 2009 Wolfram User Conference presentation,

DataModeler: A New Kind of Modeling
— Mark Kotanchek

focused on the unique benefits of DataModeler. As such, the emphasis was on ability to creatively hypothesize and refine diverse model forms and use…

TUTORIAL: Real-World Data Modeling
(June 2009)

GECS-2009 (Genetic and Evolutionary Computing Summit 2009) held in Shanghai, China was one of the first forays of the SIGEVO branch of the ACM into Asia. As part of the program, a number of the leaders in the evolutionary computing field were…

Symbolic Regression as a Discovery Engine
(May 2009)

The GPTP Workshop is always a high-energy exchange. Our 2009 contribution was titled:

Symbolic Regression via GP as a Discovery Engine:
Insights on Outliers and Prototypes
— Mark Kotanchek, Ekaterina Vladislavleva and Guido Smits

As often seems to be…

Jewel or Junk: Data Balancing & Outlier Detection with DataModeler
(October 2008)

The 2008 Wolfram User Conference presentation,

Jewel or Junk: 
Data Balancing & Outlier Detection
— Mark Kotanchek

looked at the problems associated with data validation and curation. The problem is that outliers (which can be inliers from the point…

Adaptive Data Collection & Modeling
(May 2008)

The invitation-only Genetic Programming Theory & Practice (GPTP) workshop which annually gathers the leaders in the field of genetic programming is our priority technical meeting of the year because of the intense and focused discussions. For 2008…

Trustworthy Data Models (October 2007)

This presentation at the 2007 Wolfram Technology Conference titled

Trustworthy Data Models

— Mark Kotanchek

demonstrates how ensembles of diverse models can be used to adaptively guide experimental data collection. Such a capability is very important…

TUTORIAL: Real-World Data Modeling (August 2007)

We originally developed this for GECCO-2007; however, project conflicts preempted its presentation. However, this tutorial,

Real-World Data Modeling:
Symbolic Regression & Trustable Models

— Mark Kotanchek, Guido Smits & Katya Vladislavleva

is a nice…

Trustable Symbolic Regression Models
(May 2007)

Each year, the (invitation-only) Genetic Programming Theory & Practice (GPTP) workshop gathers the leaders in the field for an invigorating exchange. The full title of our 2007 contribution is:

Trustable Symbolic Regression Models: Using ensembles,…

Soft Evolution of Robust Models (May 2007)

Good stuff. The basic notion is that we get a net gain if we evaluate candidate models against varying smaller data subsets in the early phases of model development. In addition to allowing us to quickly sort out winners from losers, this produces…

Industrial Data Modeling (October 2006)

The 2006 Wolfram Technology Conference 2006 presentation, 

Industrial Data Modeling with DataModeler: Pareto-Aware Symbolic Regression

— Mark Kotanchek

focused on illustrating key functionality of the DataModeler add-on package for Mathematica

TUTORIAL: Industrial Evolutionary Computing

GECCO (Genetic and Evolutionary Computing COnference) is the largest evolutionary computing conference in the world. For a number of years, we presented a tutorial on industrial applications of evolutionary computing. The methodology presented in…

Pursuing the Pareto Paradigm (May 2006)

The invitation-only Genetic Programming Theory & Application workshop is our research publication priority each year because of being a single-track exchange with the leaders in the field. The full title of our presentation is:

Pursuing the Pareto…

Legacy Publications

The experiences and perspectives exploited by Evolved Analytics didn’t start with the 2005 founding. Here are some publications prior to joining Evolved Analytics which illustrate some of the breadth of experience collected.
