Geometric Semantic Genetic Programming

چکیده
Traditional Genetic Programming (GP) searches the space of functions/programs by using search operators that manipulate their syntactic representation, regardless of their actual semantics/behaviour. Recently, semantically aware search operators have been shown to outperform purely syntactic operators. In this work, using a formal geometric view on search operators and representations, we bring the semantic approach to its extreme consequences and introduce a novel form of GP – Geometric Semantic GP (GSGP) – that searches directly the space of the underlying semantics of the programs. This perspective provides new insights on the relation between program syntax and semantics, search operators and fitness landscape, and allows for principled formal design of semantic search operators for different classes of problems. We derive specific forms of GSGP for a number of classic GP domains and experimentally demonstrate their superiority to conventional operators.

Bankruptcy Prediction: Dynamic Geometric Genetic Programming (DGGP) Approach
In this paper, a new Dynamic Geometric Genetic Programming (DGGP) technique is applied to empirical analysis of financial ratios and bankruptcy prediction. Financial ratios are indeed desirable for prediction of corporate bankruptcy and identification of firms’ impending failure for investors, creditors, borrowing firms, and governments. By the time, several methods have been attempted in...

متن کاملGeometric Semantic Crossover with an Angle-Aware Mating Scheme in Genetic Programming for Symbolic Regression
Recent research shows that incorporating semantic knowledge into the genetic programming (GP) evolutionary process can improve its performance. This work proposes an angle-aware mating scheme for geometric semantic crossover in GP for symbolic regression. The angle-awareness guides the crossover operating on parents which have a large angle between their relative semantics to the target semanti...
متن کاملSequential Symbolic Regression with Genetic Programming
This chapter describes the Sequential Symbolic Regression (SSR) method, a new strategy for function approximation in symbolic regression. The SSR method is inspired by the sequential covering strategy from machine learning, but instead of sequentially reducing the size of the problem being solved, it sequentially transforms the original problem into potentially simpler problems. This transforma...
