abstract = "Adaptive mutation operations have been proposed in
Evolutionary Computation (EC) many times and in
different varieties, but few have gained widespread
use. In nature, mutation rates vary over time, however
it has become common practice to use static, widely
accepted, values for mutation, particularly in GP-like
systems. In this study, an adaptive mutation operation
is presented and applied to Grammatical Evolution (GE)
over a variety of benchmark problems. The results are
examined and it is determined that the new operators
could replace the need to specify mutation rates in GE
on the problem domains examined.",
