abstract = "In this paper, we propose a new layered learning
approach for Genetic Programming (GP), called GPLL. Our
new GPLL is an extension of the earlier work in [8]
incorporating theoretically and experimentally founded
components derived from progressive sampling (PS). This
new version of GPLL is tested and compared with
standard GP on three real-world problems. Tuned for
computational efficiency, it is able to demonstrate
very substantial reductions in computational cost for
relatively small (and generally non-significant)
reductions in generalisation accuracy. At the other
extreme, computational costs are still substantially
less than for GP, while generalisation accuracies are
consistently slightly better.",
