Natural computation | Theoretical computer science
Natural computing, also called natural computation, is a terminology introduced to encompass three classes of methods: 1) those that take inspiration from nature for the development of novel problem-solving techniques; 2) those that are based on the use of computers to synthesize natural phenomena; and 3) those that employ natural materials (e.g., molecules) to compute. The main fields of research that compose these three branches are artificial neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, swarm intelligence, artificial immune systems, fractal geometry, artificial life, DNA computing, and quantum computing, among others. Computational paradigms studied by natural computing are abstracted from natural phenomena as diverse as self-replication, the functioning of the brain, Darwinian evolution, group behavior, the immune system, the defining properties of life forms, cell membranes, and morphogenesis. Besides traditional electronic hardware, these computational paradigms can be implemented on alternative physical media such as biomolecules (DNA, RNA), or trapped-ion devices. Dually, one can view processes occurring in nature as information processing. Such processes include self-assembly, developmental processes, gene regulation networks, protein–protein interaction networks, biological transport (active transport, passive transport) networks, and in unicellular organisms. Efforts tounderstand biological systems also include engineering of semi-synthetic organisms, and understanding the universe itself from the point of view of information processing. Indeed, the idea was even advanced that information is more fundamental than matter or energy. The Zuse-Fredkin thesis, dating back to the 1960s, states that the entire universe is a huge cellular automaton which continuously updates its rules.Recently it has been suggested that the whole universe is a quantum computer that computes its own behaviour.The universe/nature as computational mechanism is addressed by, exploring nature with help the ideas of computability, and studying natural processes as computations (information processing).

Reconsidering natural numbers and arithmetical expressions | Data structures Math Foundations 185
It is time to turn our gaze back to the true foundations of the subject: arithmetic with natural numbers. But now we know that the issue of "What exactly is a natural number?" is fraught with subtlety. We adopt a famous dictum of Errett Bishop, and start to make meaningful distinctions bet

Multisets and a new framework for arithmetic | Data Structures Math Foundations 187
Here we go back to the first videos in this series and recast that discussion in a more solid direction by utilizing our understanding of multisets. The crucial point is to define what a natural number is in a clear way. This issue is far more subtle than is generally acknowledged. For u

Machine learning describes computer systems that are able to automatically perform tasks based on data. A machine learning system takes data as input and produces an approach or solution to a task as output, without the need for human intervention. Machine learning is closely tied to th

The realm of natural numbers | Data structures in Mathematics Math Foundations 155
Here we look at a somewhat unfamiliar aspect of arithmetic with natural numbers, motivated by operations with multisets, and ultimately forming a main ingredient for that theory. We look at natural numbers, together with 0, under three operations: addition, union and intersection. We will
