• abstract = "Two approaches to the automatic definition of functions are compared, Koza's Automatically Defined Functions (ADF) and Angeline and Pollack's Module Acquisition (MA). Their effect on the likelihood of evolving a correct solution to the even-4-parity problem is contrasted, with the use of ADFs causing a significant improvement and MA having no apparent effect. Through a variety of experiments the differences in these approaches are explored. Ultimately it is concluded that the ADF approach creates a particular form of structural regularity that strongly increases the likelihood of evolving a correct solution to the even-4-parity problem - a form of structural regularity not present in the MA approach. A similar type of structural regularity can be created by a new genetic operator called modular crossover, created from the primitives used in the MA approach.",
