Abstract
Machine learning is one of the oldest subfields of artificial intelligence and is concerned with the design and development of computational systems that can adapt themselves and learn. The most common machine learning algorithms can be either supervised or unsupervised. Supervised learning algorithms generate a function that maps inputs to desired outputs, based on a set of examples with known output (labeled examples). Unsupervised learning algorithms find patterns and relationships over a given set of inputs (unlabeled examples). Other categories of machine learning are semi-supervised learning, where an algorithm uses both labeled and unlabeled examples, and reinforcement learning, where an algorithm learns a policy of how to act given an observation of the world.

Evolutionary Algorithms
Expression of the genotype. The fitness of an individual is evaluated on its phenotype, not on its genotype. In some problems there is no simple correlation between phenotype and genotype. For instance, there is not a single gene coding for blue eyes. Blue eyes is a phenotype.

Creativity and Autism Spectrum Disorder
An individual’s observable traits, such as height, eye color, and blood type. The genetic contribution to the phenotype is called the genotype. Conversely, behavioral phenotypes are behaviors such as anxiety, and social interaction style, as well as aberrant behaviors, such as self-injury, screaming, and aggression.

Genetic Algorithms in Multimodal Search Space
Expression of the properties coded by the individual’s genotype. The precise definition of phenotypes is mostly problem dependent. For parameter optimization the phenotype is usually identical with the object parameters, whereas for structure optimization (e.g., of neural networks) the phenotype represents a specific structure (in this case, the genotype represents the value parameters of the structure).
