• abstract = "Over the last years, neutrality has inspired many researchers in the area of Evolutionary Computation (EC) systems in the hope that it can aid evolution. However, there are contradictory results on the effects of neutrality in evolutionary search. The aim of this paper is to understand how neutrality - named in this paper degree neutrality - affects GP search. For analysis purposes, we use a well-defined measure of hardness (i.e., fitness distance correlation) as an indicator of difficulty in the absence and in the presence of neutrality, we propose a novel approach to normalise distances between a pair of trees and finally, we use a problem with deceptive features where GP is well-known to have poor performance and see the effects of neutrality in GP search.",
