The authors employ multiple crossovers as a novel natural extension to crossovers as a mixing operator. They use this as a framework to explore the ideas of code growth. Empirical...

When an optimization problem is encoded using genetic algorithms, one must address issues of population size, crossover and mutation operators and probabilities, stopping criteria...
Evaluating GP schema in context is considered to be a complex, and, at times impossible, task. The tightly linked nodes of a GP tree is the main reason behind its complexity. This...
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 ...

We propose a new methodology to look at the fitness contributions (semantics) of different schemata in Genetic Programming (GP). We hypothesize that the significance of a schem...
