• abstract = "In this contribution we propose a hybrid genetic programming approach for evolving a decision making system in the domain of RoboCup Soccer (Simulation League). Genetic programming has been rarely used in this domain in the past, due to the difficulties and restrictions of the soccer simulation. The real-time requirements of robot soccer and the lengthy evaluation time even for simulated games provide a formidable obstacle to the application of evolutionary approaches. Our new method uses two evolutionary phases, each of which compensating for restrictions and limitations of the other. The first phase produces some evolved GP individuals applying an off-game evaluation system which can be trained on snapshots of game situations as they actually happened in earlier games, and corresponding decisions tagged as correct or wrong. The second phase uses the best individuals of the first phase as input to run another GP system to evolve players in a real game environment where the quality of decisions is evaluated through winning or losing during real-time runs of the simulator. We benchmark the new system against a baseline system used by most simulation league teams, as well as against winning systems of the 2016 tournament.",
