Grammatical Evolution: A Tutorial using gramEvol

gramEvol: Grammatical Evolution in R

We describe an R package which implements grammatical evolution (GE) for automatic program generation. By performing an unconstrained optimisation over a population of R expressions generated via a user-defined grammar, programs which achieve a desired goal can be discovered. The package facilitates the coding and execution of GE programs, and supports parallel execution. In addition, three app...

Modelling Biological Sequences by Grammatical Inference

This document is a complement of the tutorial on Modelling Biological Sequences by Grammatical Inference organized for the tenth anniversary edition of the International Colloquium on Grammatical Inference (ICGI 2010) held in Valencia, Spain. The tutorial surveys the approaches related to grammatical inference which have been developed in Bioinformatics to model family of sequences, from well e...

Grammatical Evolution by Grammatical Evolution: The Evolution of Grammar and Genetic Code

This study examines the possibility of evolving the grammar that Grammatical Evolution uses to specify the construction of a syntactically correct solution. As the grammar dictates the space of symbols that can be used in a solution, its evolution represents the evolution of the genetic code itself. Results provide evidence to show that the coevolution of grammar and genetic code with a solutio...
