abstract = "The aim of genetic programming is to automatically
find computer programs that solve problems; using an
algorithm inspired by biological evolution. The aim of
the support vector machine is to model empirical data;
using an algorithm based on statistical optimality.
Fundamentally, both these techniques, and all
artificial intelligence disciplines, use search; with
differing representations, search operators and
objective functions. We formally compare these two
techniques as a contribution toward the foundations of
artificial intelligence, and less grandiosely, in order
to encourage transfer of knowledge between the two
disciplines.",
