Program bloat is a fundamental problem in the field of Genetic Programming (GP). Exponential growth of redundant and functionally useless sections of programs can quickly overcome...
Large scale gene duplication is a major force driving the evolution of genetic functional innovation. Whole genome duplications are widely believed to have played an important rol...
Recently, all the human genes were identified. But understanding the functions coded in the genes is of course a much harder problem. We are used to view DNA as some sort of a comp...
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...
It has long been known that a fixed ordering of optimization phases will not produce the best code for every application. One approach for addressing this phase ordering problem ...
