A Study of the Role of Single Node Mutation in Genetic Programming
In this paper we examine the effects of single node mutations on trees evolved via genetic programming. The results show that neutral mutations are less likely for nodes nearer th...

Evolution of reward functions for reinforcement learning
The reward functions that drive reinforcement learning systems are generally derived directly from the descriptions of the problems that the systems are being used to solve. In so...

Properties of the Log-Barrier Function on Degenerate Nonlinear Programs
We examine the sequence of local minimizers of the log-barrier function for a nonlinear program near a solution at which second-order sufficient conditions and the Mangasarian-From...

Efficiently evolving programs through the search for novelty
A significant challenge in genetic programming is premature convergence to local optima, which often prevents evolution from solving problems. This paper introduces to genetic pro...

Scanning sequences after Gibbs sampling to find multiple occurrences of functional elements
Background: Many DNA regulatory elements occur as multiple instances within a target promoter. Gibbs sampling programs for finding DNA regulatory elements de novo can be prohibiti...
