abstract = "Genetic programming (GP) is a general purpose method
for evolving symbolic computer programs (e.g. Lisp
code). Concepts from genetic algorithms are used to
evolve a population of initially random programs so
that they are able to solve the problem at hand. This
paper describes genetic programming and discuss the
usefulness of the method for building cognitive models.
Although it appears that an arbitrary fit to the
training examples will be evolved, it is shown that GP
can be constrained to produce small, general
programs.",
