• abstract = "This paper presents a technique to measure the influence a child node has on the result of its parent nodes in a program generated by genetic programming. Child nodes that have no influence are inactive, and can be removed from the individual without affecting the result of that individual, thus reducing its size. This technique is described for several types of non-terminal nodes, and the effect of the operation on the size of individuals and convergence speed of the population is tested experimentally.",
