• Improving neural networks by preventing co-adaptation of feature detectors (2012, background): “One possible interpretation of the theory of mixability articulated in [1] is that sex breaks up sets of co-adapted genes and this means that achieving a function by using a large set of co-adapted genes is not nearly as robust as achieving the same function, perhaps less than optimally, in multiple”
