• abstract = "Evolutionary algorithms and Genetic Programming (GP) in particular are increasingly being applied to the problem of evolving term-weighting schemes in Information Retrieval (IR). One fundamental problem with the solutions generated by this stochastic, non-deterministic process is that they are often difficult to analyse. We develop a number of different distance measures between the phenotypes (ranked lists) of the solutions (term-weighting schemes) returned by a GP process. Using these distance measures, we develop trees which show how different solutions are clustered in the solution space. Using this framework we show that our evolved solutions lie in a different part of the solution space than two of the best benchmark term-weighting schemes available.",
