Comeback kids: an evolutionary approach of the long-run innovation process
We provide a theoretical framework to understand when firms may benefit from exploiting previously abandoned technologies and brands. We model for the long run process of innovation, allowing for sustainable diversity and comebacks of old brands and technologies. We present two extensions to the logistic and Lotka-Volterra equations, which describe the diffusion of an innovation. First, we extend the short-term competition to a long-term process characterized by a sequence of innovations and substitutions. Second, by allowing the substitutions to be incomplete, we extend the one-dimensional process to a tree-form multidimensional one featuring diversification throughout the long-term development.

Bridging Through Absence: How Comeback Researchers Bridge Knowledge Gaps Through Structural Re-emergence
Understanding the role of researchers who return to academia after prolonged inactivity, termed "comeback researchers", is crucial for developing inclusive models of scientific careers. This study investigates the struct…
Simulating short- and long-term evolutionary dynamics on rugged landscapes
We propose a minimal model to simulate long waiting times followed by evolutionary bursts on rugged landscapes. It combines point and inversions-like mutations as sources of genetic variation. The inversions are intended…
'Beach' to 'Bitch': Inadvertent Unsafe Transcription of Kids' Content on YouTube
Over the last few years, YouTube Kids has emerged as one of the highly competitive alternatives to television for children's entertainment. Consequently, YouTube Kids' content should receive an additional level of scruti…

For help with their spelling errors, children often turn to spellcheckers integrated in software applications like word processors and search engines. However, existing spellcheckers are usually tuned to the needs of tra…
Evolutionary Innovation Viewed as Novel Physical Phenomena and Hierarchical Systems Building
In previous work I proposed a framework for thinking about open-ended evolution. The framework characterised the basic processes required for Darwinian evolution as: (1) the generation of a phenotype from a genetic descr…
