ADFs: An Evolutionary Approach to Predicate Invention
This review paper makes explicit, for the first time, the conceptual similarity between Genetic Programming’s ADFs and Machine Learning’s invented features/predicates, and shows how the evolutionary nature of ADFs allows the complex when and what question

Preface The first ICANNGA conference, devoted to biologically inspired computational paradigms, Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms, was held in Innsbruck, Austria, in 1993. The meeting attracted researchers from all over Europe and further afield, who decided that this particular blend of topics should form a theme for a series of biennial conferences. The second meeting, held in Ales, France, in 1995, carried on the tradition set in Innsbruck of a relaxed and stimulating environment for the. exchange of ideas. The series has continued in Norwich, UK, in 1997, and Portoroz, Slovenia, in 1999. The Institute of Computer Science, Czech Academy of Sciences, is pleased to host the fifth conference in Prague. We have chosen the Liechtenstein palace under the Prague Castle as the conference site to enhance the traditionally good atmosphere of the meeting. There is an inspirational genius loci of the historical center of the city, where four hundred years ago a fruitful combination of theoretical and empirical method, through the collaboration of Johannes Kepler and Tycho de Brahe, led to the discovery of the laws of planetary orbits. In this conference, theoretical insights and reports on successful applications are both strongly represented. It is· especially pleasing to observe the dual affinity with biology. There are papers dealing with cognition, neurocontrol, and biologically inspired brain models, while there are also descriptions of successful applications of comp
