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...

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...

Redundant genes and the evolution of robustness
In this paper we demonstrate that pressure for robustness combined with function sets containing redundant genes can cause an evolutionary system to avoid a more fit solution in f...

Some Considerations on the Reason for Bloat
A representation-less model for genetic programming is presented. The model is intended to examine the mechanisms that lead to bloat in genetic programming (GP). We discuss two hyp...

Size-based tournaments for node selection
In genetic programming, the reproductive operators of crossover and mutation both require the selection of nodes from the reproducing individuals. Both unbiased random selection a...
