Questions tagged [genetic-programming]

Genetic programming (GP) is a specialization of evolutionary computation where each individual is a computer program. It is used to optimize a population of computer programs according to a fitness landscape determined by a program's ability to perform a given computational task.

Genetic programming (GP) is a type of where each individual in a population is a computer program. It is used to optimize a population of computer programs according to a fitness landscape determined by a program's ability to perform a given computational task.

Traditional genetic programming, originally popularized by John Koza, represents code as expression trees, but this topic also includes other systems in which code evolves.

See also: , which refers to evolution-inspired algorithms in which an abstract representation of the solution is being evolved, rather than code itself.

Why don't genetic algorithms work on problems like factoring RSA?

Some time ago i was pretty interested in GAs and i studied about them quite a bit. I used C++ GAlib to write some programs and i was quite amazed by their ability to solve otherwise difficult to compute problems, in a matter of seconds. They seemed…

Genetic Algorithm: Higher Mutation Rate leads to lower run time

I implemented a genetic algorithm to solve an enhanced Traveling Salesman Problem (the weight of the edges changes with the time of the day). Currently I'm evaluating the different parameters of my simulation and I stumbled upon a correlation I…
