Semantically driven crossover in genetic programming
Lawrence Beadle and Colin G Johnson
In IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence, pages 182-196. IEEE, January 2008.Abstract
Crossover forms one of the core operations in genetic programming and has been the subject of many different investigations. We present a novel technique, based on semantic analysis of programs, which forces each crossover to make candidate programs take a new step in the behavioural search space. We demonstrate how this technique results in better performance and smaller solutions in two separate genetic programming experiments.
