On the Robustness of Lexicase Selection to Contradictory Objectives
Lexicase and epsilon-lexicase selection are state of the art parent selection techniques for problems featuring multiple selection criteria.

Uvalde parents lash out after new report clears city police of missteps during Texas school attack
An investigation Uvalde city leaders ordered into the Robb Elementary School shooting has put no blame on local police officers and defended their actions, but still acknowledged a series of failures during the response. The 2022 classroom attack left 19 children and two teachers dead. The probe by Austin-based investigator and former detective Jesse Prado for the Uvalde City Council is just one of several into the massacre. State lawmakers found in 2022 that nearly 400 local, state and federal…

Democratic officials criticize Meta ad policy, saying it amplifies lies about 2020 election

In the letter addressed to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the secretaries said allowing such ads will further erode trust in elections and fuel threats of political violence against election workers. On Friday, Meta defended its work around elections and said it would remove election-related cont…
