abstract = "Commonly used fitness measures, such as mean squared
error, often fail to reward individuals whose presence
in the population is necessary to explain substantial
portions of the data variance. Diversity indicators are
often arbitrary, may reflect diversity irrelevant to
solving the problem, and are incommensurate with
fitness measures. By contrast, information theoretic
functionals are computable general indicators of
fitness and diversity without these typical failings.
We propose normalised mutual information, redundancy
and synergy measures for genetic programming. We also
propose selection for recombination and survival by
{"}pairing potential{"} and {"}pair potential{"}
estimation, and offer numerical examples as empirical
support for theoretical claims.",
