An Analysis of the Causes of Code Growth in Genetic Programming
Abstract. This research examines the cause of code growth (bloat) in genetic programming (GP). Currently there are three hypothesized causes of code growth in GP: protection, drift...

The Root Causes of Code Growth in Genetic Programming
This paper discusses the underlying pressures responsible for code growth in genetic programming, and shows how an understanding of these pressures can be used to use to eliminate...

The impact of population size on code growth in GP: analysis and empirical validation
The crossover bias theory for bloat [18] is a recent result which predicts that bloat is caused by the sampling of short, unfit programs. This theory is clear and simple, but it ...

Fitness Causes Bloat: Mutation
The problem of evolving, using mutation, an artificial ant to follow the Santa Fe trail is used to study the well known genetic programming feature of growth in solution length. Kn...

Effects of Code Growth and Parsimony Pressure on Populations in Genetic Programming
Parsimony pressure, the explicit penalization of larger programs, has been increasingly used as a means of controlling code growth in genetic programming. However, in many cases p...
