Introduction to Eureqa (1/2)

Eureqa is a software tool for detecting equations and hidden mathematical relationships in your data. Its primary goal is to identify the simplest mathematical formulas which could describe the underlying mechanisms that produced the data. Eurequa is free to download and use: http://ccsl.mae.cornell.edu/eureqa

I am really excited by the possibilities this algorithm offers. I thought it rather interesting that the program modeled an exponentially decreasing phase term. I have not seen anything like that before.

Is there any reason to think this could not be applied to a GPU to make the searches even faster?

Has anyone tried using Eureqa to tease meaning out of large sets of demographic or polling data? Any other Social Science applications?

Also, great work guys!

[Rajiv Ravishankar]

This is so awesome...I'm definitely going to use this. 

[TeaMoneyify]

That looks really polished. I can't wait to try it out.

just like GP but here the computer will do it for u !!

[MoHa Al-Tarakma]

yes .. because our instructor for master or phd thesis they want to make it hard on us and program such thing... i think eureka uses GP inside it and thats what we should come with not only using that program !!

Sorry, I can't. But you can find vast amounts of material online. Wikipedia is a good start (the sources section), and there are sites like genetic-programming . com

Amazing video!

They key there is "evolution in the broadest sense." If you simply generalized evolution to "gradual improvement relative to a specific measurement," then you could claim all kinds of things about it.

Evolution on the scale of DNA and species is barely moving, by modern standards. Evolution on the scale of technology is accelerating. If you want to generalize that much, evolution is an exponential curve of progress that started with the big bang.
