Efficient Graph-based Genetic Programming Representation with Multiple Outputs

  • In this work,we explore and study the implication of having more than one output on a genetic programming(GP) graph-representation.This approach,called multiple interactive outputs in a single tree(MIOST),is based on two ideas.First,we defined an approach,called interactivity within an individual(IWI),which is based on a graph-GP representation.Second,we add to the individuals created with the IWI approach multiple outputs in their structures and as a result of this,we have MIOST.As a first step,we analyze the effects of IWI by using only mutations and analyze its implications(i.e.,presence of neutrality).Then,we continue testing the effectiveness of IWI by allowing mutations and the standard GP crossover in the evolutionary process.Finally,we tested the effectiveness of MIOST by using mutations and crossover and conducted extensive empirical results on different evolvable problems of different complexity taken from the literature.The results reported in this paper indicate that the proposed approach has a better overall performance in terms of consistency reaching feasible solutions.
