Automatically Defined Functions in Gene Expression Programming
نویسنده
چکیده
In this chapter it is shown how Automatically Defined Functions are encoded in the genotype/phenotype system of Gene Expression Programming. As an introduction, the fundamental differences between Gene Expression Programming and its predecessors, Genetic Algorithms and Genetic Programming, are briefly summarized so that the evolutionary advantages of Gene Expression Programming are better understood. The introduction proceeds with a detailed description of the architecture of the main players of Gene Expression Programming (chromosomes and expression trees), focusing mainly on the interactions between them and how the simple, yet revolutionary, structure of the chromosomes allows the efficient, unconstrained exploration of the search space. The work proceeds with an introduction to Automatically Defined Functions and how they are implemented in Gene Expression Programming. Furthermore, the importance of Automatically Defined Functions in Evolutionary Computation is thoroughly analyzed by comparing the performance of sophisticated learning systems with Automatically Defined Functions with much simpler ones on the sextic polynomial problem.
