A Field Guide to Genetic Programming by Riccardo Poli
Genetic programming (GP) is a systematic, domain-independent method for getting computers to solve problems automatically starting from a high-level statement of what needs to be done. Using ideas from natural evolution, GP starts from an ooze of random computer programs, and progressively refines them through processes of mutation and sexual recombination, until high-fitness solutions emerge. All this without the user having to know or specify the form or structure of solutions in advance. GP has generated a plethora of human-competitive results and applications, including novel scientific discoveries and patentable inventions. This unique overview of this exciting technique is written by three of the most active scientists in GP. See www.gp-field-guide.org.uk for more information on the book.The authors are among the top theoreticians in the field of evolutionary computation. The first author, a physicist, specializes in statistical mechanics, complex systems, multiscale phenomena, and dynamic optimization. The second author, a computer scientist, has over 250 refereed publications on evolutionary computing, artificial intelligence, artificial life, neural networks, biomedical engineering, etc., and his coauthored book Foundations of Genetic Programming was the first book to present a theory of genetic programming.
