• abstract = "This paper evaluates the performance of various methods to constant creation in Grammatical Evolution (GE), and validates the results against those from Genetic Programming (GP). Constant creation in GE is an important issue due to the disruptive nature of ripple crossover, which can radically remap multiple terminals in an individual, and we investigate if more compact methods, which are more similar to the GP style of constant creation (Ephemeral Random Constants (ERCs), perform better. The results are surprising. The GE methods all perform significantly better than GP on unseen test data, and we demonstrate that the standard GE approach of digit concatenation does not produce individuals that are any larger than those from methods which are designed to use less genetic material.",
