• abstract = "In this paper, we propose the use of Information Theory as the basis for designing a fitness function for Boolean circuit design using Genetic Programming. Boolean functions are implemented by replicating binary multiplexers. Entropy-based measures, such as Mutual Information and Normalised Mutual Information are investigated as tools for similarity measures between the target and evolving circuit. Three fitness functions are built over a primitive one. We show that the landscape of Normalized Mutual Information is more amenable for being used as a fitness function than simple Mutual Information. The evolutionary synthesised circuits are compared to the known optimum size. A discussion of the potential of the Information-Theoretical approach is given.",
