....new individuals and avoid overwriting their own o spring. After a short time all CPUs are lled by self reproducing individuals and competition between individuals sets in which results in an increased rate of speciation. 1 Introduction Evolution of computer programs, Genetic Programming [17,18,2], is usually a very dicult task because small changes to the program s code are often lethal. Changing a single byte in any large application program is very likely to cause such a severe error that the mutated program no longer performs its intended function. This violates the principle of strong ....

....program, though there is still a long way until we can evolve programs of the complexity of hand written. Our e orts are devoted is to create a GP structure able to solve tasks, which cannot be completed with current structures. It is possible for the current structures like, 1) tree based GP [8,9], 2) linear based GP [10,3] or (3) graph based GP[12,2,11] to create more complex programs and hence solve more complex problems. However we think, that this structures need more time and resources to evolve such programs. Let us look how the program ow of a hand coded program could ....

....programs with linear and tree programs by analyzing their structure and results on different test problems. 1 Introduction of Linear Tree GP The representations of programs used in Genetic Programming can be classified by their underlying structure into three major groups: 1) tree based [Koz92,Koz94], 2) linear [Nor94,BNKF98] and (3) graph based [TV96] representations. This paper introduces a new representation for GP programs. This new representation, named linear tree, has been developed with the goal to give a program the flexibility to choose different execution paths for different ....

....bias. The language bias is implemented through the selection of the function and terminal sets, and the search bias is implemented with genetic operators (mainly crossover and mutation) The language bias of a traditional GP system [11] is fixed, while GP with automatic defined functions (ADF) [12] has a dynamic language bias. Whigham [21, 22] introduced grammar guided genetic programming (GGGP) where context free grammars (CFGs) are used to declaratively set the language bias. He also proposed genetic operators to implement search bias and overcome the closure requirement, and showed ....

The work that has been done seems to fall into two major categories: bitmap recognition and learned aids for vision problems (including object recognition) There have been some examples of genetic programming applied to bitmaps (usually font bitmaps) in order to do classification [7], 1] In between, there are works like [4] that applied GP to a restricted subset of a black and white silhouettes of a person and tried to learn where one of the hands was. Learned aids to object recognition can be seen in works like [11] and [9] For example, in [11] GP is used to improve the ....

The Mini program associated with each Main program bears similarity to the concept of ADF s (automatically defined functions) [7]. It may be called at any point in the Main program and it evolves along with the Main program. Mini programs are in every way normal PADO programs; their size is not constrained to be smaller than the Main programs. The name Mini denotes only that it is owned by the Main program. The Mini ....

Node M executes the private Mini program as its action. The Mini program associated with each Main program bears similarity to the concept of ADF s [5]. It may be called at any point in the Main program and it evolves along with the Main program. The Mini programs may recursively call themselves or the globally available Library programs, just like a Main program may. The Library programs (e.g. L01 in Fig. 2) are globally available programs ....

There have been some examples of GP applied to bitmaps (usually font bitmaps) in order to do classification (e.g. [1, 5]) In between bitmaps and full resolution images are projects like [4] that applied GP to a subset of black and white silhouettes of a person and tried to learn where one of the hands was. Even in the domain of full video, learned aids to object recognition can be seen in works like [6] and [9] ....

The ADF programs associated with each Main program bear similarity to the concept of ADF s (automatically defined functions) [5]. However, PADO ADFs do not take a specific number of arguments but evolve to use what it they need from the incoming argument stack. In addition, they have internal loops and recursion. Here is a brief summary of the language primitives and their effects: Algebraic Primitives: NOT MAX ....

As a test problem we use speaker recognition. 1 Introduction to Graph GP The representations of programs used in Genetic Programming can be classified by their underlying structure into three major groups: 1) tree based [Koz92,Koz94], 2) linear based [Nor94,BNKF98] and 3) graph based [TV96] representations. In graph based GP each program p is represented by a directed graph of N p nodes. Each node can have up to N p outgoing edges. Each node in the program has two parts, action and branching decision. The action part is ....

....be used for Psi. Thus, in the society model, different kinds of EAs can be adopted in different parts. The above algorithm can be named the cooperative co evolutionary genetic programming (CCGP) There is an important difference between the CCGP and the GP with ADF (automatic defined function, [14]) In the CCGP, the evolution of the main program and that of the subroutines are separated. This separation may allow us to get a large scale program in a hierarchical way. More study is necessary to verify this point. VI. The Hierarchical Society Up to now we have studied the society model as ....

....to the constructor function that built it. Thus, each partial analysis can be treated as a constructor function with built in knowledge about how the associated partial analysis can be combined with other partial analyses in a semantically meaningful way. Genetic programming search [Koza, 1992, Koza, 1994] is used to efficiently compose the fragments produced by the parser. The function definitions compiled from the meaning representation specification allow the genetic search to use semantic constraints to make effective use of its search space. Thus, AUTOSEM operates efficiently, free of any ....

In the case of the Evenp 5 problem, the set of functions we have employed is the following: F= NAND,NOR , smaller than that described in the original version of the problem [12]. 2.4.2 The Symbolic Regression Problem. The goal here is to find an individual i.e. a program which matches a given equation. For each of the values in the input set, the program must be able to compute the output obtained by means of the equation. We employ the classic polynomial equation: x ....

We discuss the results in the next section. 6: Results and discussion The results are presented in fig. 5, using the performance curve as defined by Koza in [13]. P(M,i) is the probability of a single run yielding a solution by i generations (each consisting of M individuals) This is estimated by doing a number of runs. The number of runs required to produce a successful individual with probability z is defined in terms of P(M,i) R(z) ceiling( ....

....The paradigm, as used today, is due to John Koza [Koza, 1989] GP evolves a population of program expressions driven by a fitness function that measures how well each program solves the problem. The GP paradigm, its main parameters, and some advanced topics are presented in [Koza, 1992; Koza, 1994b] Here we just overview some basic concepts and notations used throughout this dissertation. In GP, problem solving is formulated as a search in the space of computer programs, which are structures of dynamically varying size and shape. Populations of computer programs (individuals) are ....

It is desirable to automate the design of algorithms, both to increase their number and to search for better ones. Genetic Programming (GP) 8] [9] [10] is a methodology, inspired by Darwin s Theory of Evolution, to evolve algorithms in the form of computer programs from a high level statement of the problem. Because the representation is in the form of a computer program, the output algorithms can be used from one situation to another. At ....

....system. This work was partially inspired by an observation that was made during the development of our GP systems. We were implementing some of the problems that appear in the GP literature as a way of testing our software. We implemented the Artificial Ant problem as described by Koza [9]. In this problem, we try to evolve a program that optimizes the food seeking behavior of a simple ant. Koza presents a straightforward approach that uses automatically defined functions (ADFs) The artificial ant problem and the difficulties and obstacles to its solution are analyzed in great ....

The attraction of Genetic Programming in the current context is its transparent modularity, with a program subtree being a module.
