Destructiveness of Lexicographic Parsimony Pressure and Alleviation by a Concatenation Crossover in Genetic Programming

2 code implementations • 25 May 2018 • Timo Kötzing, J. A. Gregor Lagodzinski, Johannes Lengler, Anna Melnichenko

We show that the Concatenation Crossover GP can efficiently optimize these test functions, while local search cannot be efficient for all three variants independent of employing bloat control.
