Abstract

This chapter introduces biased random-key genetic programming, a new metaheuristic for evolving programs. Each solution program is encoded as a vector of random keys, where a random key is a real number randomly generated in the continuous interval [0, 1]. A decoder maps each vector of random keys to a solution program and assigns it a measure of quality. A Program-Expression is encoded in the chromosome using a head-tail representation which is later transformed into a syntax tree using a prefix notation rule. The artificial simulated evolution of the programs is accomplished with a biased random-key genetic algorithm. Examples of the application of this approach to symbolic regression are presented.
