SUMMARY:Naive Reflections on the Evolution of Algorithms - Shmuel Weinberg
 er (University of Chicago)

UID:TALK234580@talks.cam.ac.uk
DESCRIPTION:A common theme views evolution as a kind of iterative dynamica
 l process that attempts to optimize (or even learns an optimizer) accordin
 g to a loss or fitness function. This talk will describe some very prelimi
 nary ideas about one concrete model of this\, some of the mathematics it r
 esults in (which lie in quantitative topology)\, some of the directions wh
 ere it is lacking (and there are many) and possible next steps.
