Tree-Based Grammatical Evolution with Non-Encoding Nodes

Published:24 July 2023Publication History

ABSTRACT

Grammar-guided genetic programming is a type of genetic programming that uses a grammar to restrict the solutions in the exploration of the search space. Different representations of grammar-guided genetic programming exist, each with specific properties that affect how the evolutionary process is developed. We propose a new representation that uses a tree structure with non-encoding nodes for the individuals in the population, a.k.a. Tree-Based Grammatical Evolution with Non-Encoding Nodes. Each tree's node has a set of children nodes and an associated number that determines which are used in decoding the solution and which are non-encoding nodes. This representation increases the size and complexity of the individuals while performing a more exhaustive exploration of the solution space. We compare the performance of our proposal with state-of-the-art genetic programming algorithms for the 11-multiplexer benchmark, showing encouraging results.
