Studying bloat control and maintenance of effective code in linear genetic programming for symbolic regression
Linear Genetic Programming (LGP) is an Evolutionary Computation algorithm, inspired in the Genetic Programming (GP) algorithm. Instead of using the standard tree representation of GP, LGP evolves a linear program, which causes a graph-based data flow with code reuse. LGP has been shown to outperform GP in several problems, including Symbolic Regression (SReg), and to
