We study a generic program to investigate the scope for automatically customising it for a vital current task, which was not considered when it was first written. In detail, we show genetic programming (GP) can evolve models of aspects of BLASTs output when it is used to map Solexa Next-Gen DNA sequences to the human genome.
Thin-film solar cells are predominately designed similar to a stacked structure. Optimizing the layer thicknesses in this stack structure is crucial to extract the best efficiency of the solar cell. The commonplace method used in optimization simulations, such as for optimizing the optical spacer layers thicknesses, is the parameter sweep. Our simulation study shows that the implementation of a meta-heuristic method like the genetic algorithm results in a significantly faster and accurate search method when compared to the brute-force parameter sweep method in both single and multi-layer optimization. While other sweep methods can also outperform the brute-force method, they do not consistently exhibit $100%$ accuracy in the optimized results like our genetic algorithm. We have used a well-studied P3HT-based structure to test our algorithm. Our best-case scenario was observed to use $60.84%$ fewer simulations than the brute-force method.

We evolve binary mux-6 trees for up to 100000 generations evolving some programs with more than a hundred million nodes. Our unbounded Long-Term Evolution Experiment LTEE GP appears not to evolve building blocks but does suggests a limit to bloat. We do see periods of tens even hundreds of generations where the population is 100 percent functionally converged. The distribution of tree sizes is not as predicted by theory.
Genetic Programming (GP) is an evolutionary algorithm commonly used for machine learning tasks. In this paper we present a method that allows GP to transform the representation of a large-scale machine learning dataset into a more compact representation, by means of processing features from the original representation at individual level. We develop as a proof of concept of this method an autoencoder. We tested a preliminary version of our approach in a variety of well-known machine learning image datasets. We speculate that this method, used in an iterative manner, can produce results competitive with state-of-art deep neural networks.
Most existing swarm pattern formation methods depend on a predefined gene regulatory network (GRN) structure that requires designers priori knowledge, which is difficult to adapt to complex and changeable environments. To dynamically adapt to the complex and changeable environments, we propose an automatic design framework of swarm pattern formation based on multi-objective genetic programming. The proposed framework does not need to define the structure of the GRN-based model in advance, and it applies some basic network motifs to automatically structure the GRN-based model. In addition, a multi-objective genetic programming (MOGP) combines with NSGA-II, namely MOGP-NSGA-II, to balance the complexity and accuracy of the GRN-based model. In evolutionary process, an MOGP-NSGA-II and differential evolution (DE) are applied to optimize the structures and parameters of the GRN-based model in parallel. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed framework can effectively evolve some novel GRN-based models, and these GRN-based models not only have a simpler structure and a better performance, but also are robust to the complex and changeable environments.
