    Towards heuristic algorithmic memory
    (Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2011) Özkural, Eray
    We propose a long-term memory design for artificial general intelligence based on Solomonoff's incremental machine learning methods. We introduce four synergistic update algorithms that use a Stochastic Context-Free Grammar as a guiding probability distribution of programs. The update algorithms accomplish adjusting production probabilities, re-using previous solutions, learning programming idioms and discovery of frequent subprograms. A controlled experiment with a long training sequence shows that our incremental learning approach is effective. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

    β-Tubulin mRNA expression profiles during long-term memory formation in classically conditioned C. elegans
    (Ege Üniversitesi, 2013) Erdoğan, Mutlu; Şahin, E.
    We report on the mRNA expression profiles of β-tubulin genes in Caenorhabditis elegans during the process of classical conditioning, a type of associative learning. In this research, based on the model that suggests the formation of new synaptic connections for long-term memory storage by means of cytoskeletal rearrangement, we measure the expressional changes on the β-tubulin mRNA levels via quantitative real-time PCR. Using this method, we find that β-tubulin mRNA levels do not significantly change in C. elegans during classical conditioning and long-term memory formation process.
