Yu & J. Miller (2002) Finding Needles in Haystacks is Not Hard with Neutrality (EuroGP) vs M. Collins (2004) Finding Needles in Haystacks is Harder with Neutrality. Yu even-12-parity more than 55 success from 100 runs each of a only max of 10,000 iterations while with random search never succeeded in 4,000,000 trials. 1. Randomly generate an initial population of 5 genotypes with the lowest possible fitness and select one (randomly) as the winner. 2. Carry out point-wise mutation on the winning parent to generate 4 offspring; 3. Construct a new generation with the winner and its offspring; 4. Select a winner from the current population using the following rules:  If any offspring has a better fitness, it becomes the winner.  Otherwise, an offspring with the same fitness is randomly selected. If the parent-offspring pair has a Hamming distance within the permitted range (see Section 6.2), the offspring becomes the winner.  Otherwise, the parent remains as the winner. 5. Go to step 2 unless the maximum number of generations reached or a solution with needle fitness is found.

We present results indicating that the loss of performance is caused by the sampling bias of the CGP, due to the neu-trality friendly representation. We implement a simple in-tron free random sampling algorithm which performs con-siderably better on the same problem and then explain how such performance is possible. We also implement and test a trivial random sampling algorithm which uses a fully expressed genotype. We show that this algorithm considerably exceeds expectations un- expectedly performing better than random sampling. An analysis of how simply removing introns from the represen- tation can produce such a result is provided. photo with j, k, me in minsk colabaration including good student frankly speaking, even seminor not so easy autority (read recture is enough) project on the web authority still not so interested in web but seminor classification => old yet still open input n-d data output rule Michigan vs Pits turget island in lake ultmate needle fuzzy needle is crisp supervised train by self cyrano no-supervised
