• abstract = "In this paper we will focus on machine-learning issues solved with Genetic Programming (GP). Excessive code growth or bloat often happens in GP , greatly slowing down the evolution process. Poli proposed the Tarpeian Control method to reduce bloat, but possible side-effects of this method on the generalisation accuracy of GP hypotheses remained to be tested. In particular, since Tarpeian Control puts a brake on code growth, it could behave as a kind of Occam's razor, promoting shorter hypotheses more able to extend their knowledge to cases apart from any learning steps. To answer this question, we experiment Tarpeian Control with symbolic regression. The results are contrasted, showing that it can either increase or reduce the generalization power of GP hypotheses, depending on the problem at hand. This suggest that a blind use of TC is not safe, but also that a careful parameter setup may be profitable in some cases.",
