Resource-Limited Genetic Programming: Replacing Tree Depth Limits
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose replacing the traditional tree depth limit in Genetic Programming by a single limit on the amount of resources available to the whole population, where resources are the tree nodes. The resource-limited technique removes the disadvantages of using depth limits at the individual level, while introducing automatic population resizing, a natural side-effect of using an approach at the population level. The results show that the replacement of individual depth limits by a population resource limit can be done without impairing performance, thus validating this first and important step towards a new approach to improving the efficiency of GP.

Repeated Patterns in Tree Genetic Programming
We extend our analysis of repetitive patterns found in genetic programming genomes to tree based GP. As in linear GP, repetitive patterns are present in large numbers. Size fair crossover limits bloat in automatic programming, preventing the evolution of recurring motifs. We examine these complex properties in detail: e.g. using depth v. size Catalan binary tree shape plots, subgraph and subtre...

The prediction of river, s discharge rate is one of the important issues in water resources engineering. This issue is very important for the planning, management, and policy making in water resources management, especially in the country like Iran, with limited water resources in line the economic and environmental development. Awareness of how the relationship between rainfall and run...
متن کاملA Mixed Integer Programming Approach to Optimal Feeder Routing for Tree-Based Distribution System: A Case Study
A genetic algorithm is proposed to optimize a tree-structured power distribution network considering optimal cable sizing. For minimizing the total cost of the network, a mixed-integer programming model is presented determining the optimal sizes of cables with minimized location-allocation cost. For designing the distribution lines in a power network, the primary factors must be considered as m...
متن کاملLexicographic Parsimony Pressure
We introduce a technique called lexicographic parsimony pressure, for controlling the significant growth of genetic programming trees during the course of an evolutionary computation run. Lexicographic parsimony pressure modifies selection to prefer smaller trees only when fitnesses are equal (or equal in rank). This technique is simple to implement and is not affected by specific differences i...
متن کاملTree Depth Influence in Genetic Programming for Generation of Competitive Agents for RTS Games
This work presents the results obtained from comparing different tree depths in a Genetic Programming Algorithm to create agents that play the Planet Wars game. Three different maximum levels of the tree have been used (3, 7 and Unlimited) and two bots available in the literature, based on human expertise, and optimized by a Genetic Algorithm have been used for training and comparison. Results ...
