abstract = "Novelty Search (NS) is a unique approach towards
search and optimization, where an explicit objective
function is replaced by a measure of solution novelty.
However, NS has been mostly used in evolutionary
robotics while its usefulness in classic machine
learning problems has not been explored. This work
presents a NS-based genetic programming (GP) algorithm
for supervised classification. Results show that NS can
solve real-world classification tasks, the algorithm is
validated on real-world benchmarks for binary and
multiclass problems. These results are made possible by
using a domain-specific behaviour descriptor. Moreover,
two new versions of the NS algorithm are proposed,
Probabilistic NS (PNS) and a variant of Minimal
Criteria NS (MCNS). The former models the behavior of
each solution as a random vector and eliminates all of
the original NS parameters while reducing the
computational overhead of the NS algorithm. The latter
uses a standard objective function to constrain and
bias the search towards high performance solutions. The
paper also discusses the effects of NS on GP search
dynamics and code growth. Results show that NS can be
used as a realistic alternative for supervised
classification, and specifically for binary problems
the NS algorithm exhibits an implicit bloat control
ability.",
