To investigate the fundamental causes of bloat, six artificial random binary tree search spaces are presented. Fitness is given by program syntax (the genetic programming genotype)...
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 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...

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...
Determining if a group of proteins are functionally associated among themselves is an open problem in molecular biology. Within our long term goal of applying Genetic Programming ...
