abstract = "Significant recent effort in genetic programming has
focused on selecting and combining candidate solutions
according to a notion of behaviour defined in semantic
space and has also highlighted disadvantages of relying
on a single scalar measure to capture the complexity of
program performance in evolutionary search. In this
paper, we take an alternative, yet complementary
approach which directs crossover in what we call
adjudicated space, where adjudicated space represents
an abstraction of program behaviour that focuses on the
success or failure of candidate solutions in solving
problem sub-components. We investigate the
effectiveness of several possible adjudicated
strategies on a variety of classification and symbolic
regression problems, and show that both of our novel
pillage and barter tactics significantly outperform
both a standard genetic programming and an enhanced
genetic programming configuration on the fourteen
problems studied.",
