Abstract:

Abstract. This paper describes an application of Parallel Distributed Genetic Programming (PDGP) to the problem of inducing recognisers for natural language from positive and negative examples. PDGP is a new form of Genetic Programming (GP) which is suitable for the development of programs with a high degree of parallelism and an efficient and effective reuse of partial results. Programs are represented in PDGP as graphs with nodes representing functions and terminals, and links representing the flow of control and results. PDGP allows the exploration of a large space of possible programs including standard tree-like programs, logic networks, neural networks, finite state automata, Recursive Transition Networks (RTNs), etc. The paper describes the representations, the operators and the interpreters used in PDGP, and describes how these can be tailored to evolve RTN-based recognisers. 1
