Project “EnviGP – Improving Genetic Programming for the Environment and Other Applications”
Sara Silva,
Inesc-ID –
Abstract:
EnviGP is a FCT project involving INESC-ID, the University of Coimbra, the Tropical Research Institute in Lisbon, and the University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy. Genetic Programming (GP) is a population-based search procedure that, although powerful and versatile, still faces a few obstacles to its fully successful usage in the real world. After a brief introduction to GP, the main subjects of the project are informally addressed: bloat, overfitting, complexity, and the still poorly understood relationship between them. Current results and work in progress are described and illustrated with examples. All these subjects are addressed from the practical point of view of the non computer science practitioners that share the same goal as the EnviGP project: having GP provide accurate, simple, and effectively useful/usable solutions to their real-life problems.
Discussion is highly encouraged. Among the audience there will be team members from the Tropical Research Institute and from the University of Milano-Bicocca.

Upcoming Events
Workshop “Metabolism and mathematical models: Two for a tango” – 2nd Edition
Title: Workshop Metabolism and mathematical models: Two for a tango – 2nd Edition
Dates: October 25-26, 2022
Location: This workshop will be held in a virtual way
The topic of this workshop is metabolism in general, with a special focus, although not exclusive, on parasitology. Besides an exploration of the biological, biochemical and biomedical aspects, the workshop will also aim at presenting some of the mathematical modelling, algorithmic theory and software development that have become crucial to explore such aspects.
This workshop is being organised in the context of two projects, both with the Inria European Team Erable. One of the projects involves a partnership with the University of São Paulo (USP), in São Paulo, Brazil, more specifically the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics (IME) and the Institute of Biomedical Sciences – Inria Associated Team Capoeira – and the other involves the Inesc-ID/IST in Portugal, ETH in Zürich and EMBL in Heidelberg – H2020 Twinning Project Olissipo.
The workshop is open to all members of these two projects but also, importantly, to the community in general.
The program and more details are available here.
