Genetic programming (GP) represents a class of evolutionary algorithms that automates the creation of computer programmes to solve complex problems. Coupled with symbolic regression (SR), which aims ...

[Kory] has been experimenting with genetic algorithms. Normally we’d expect his experiments to deal with tuning the variables in a control system or something, but he’s doing something much cooler.

A type of programming that imitates genetic algorithms. Genetic programming uses mutation and replication to produce algorithms that represent the "survival of the fittest." While genetic algorithms ...

[Ron Alsing] wanted to try out some genetic programming, so he created a simple test problem: Could you render the Mona Lisa using just 50 semitransparent polygons? The program starts with a random ...

Timber is becoming increasingly popular as the most sustainable construction material. But structural timber design is not easy. Currently, floor framing designers produce many possible designs before ...

Immigration is generally considered an option in genetic algorithms, but I have found immigration to be extremely useful in almost all situations where I use evolutionary optimization. The idea of ...
