Stop for a second and look out your window. You’ll likely see a tree somewhere outside. Do you know its species? How often should it be watered? Is it healthy? Pietro Perona imagines a world where you ...

Evolutionary algorithms have emerged as a robust alternative to traditional greedy approaches for decision tree induction. By mimicking the natural selection process, these algorithms iterate over a ...

Just as bird watchers may use binoculars to add to their species lists, scientists interested in bird evolution may use computational tools to clarify avian lineages. Indeed, such tools have enabled ...
