Developmental systems theory (DST) is often dismissed on the basis that the causal indispensability of nongenetic factors in evolution and development has long been appreciated. A reformulation makes a more substantive claim: that the special role played by genes is also played by some (but not all) nongenetic resources. That special role can be captured by Shea's 'inherited representation'. Fo...

In this paper, we propose a method of multiple kernel learning (MKL) to inherently deal with multi-class classification problems. The performances of kernel-based classification methods depend on the employed kernel functions, and it is difficult to predefine the optimal kernel. In the framework of MKL, multiple types of kernel functions are linearly integrated with optimizing the weights for t...
