Abstract

Lexicase selection is a selection method that was developed for parent selection in genetic programming. In this chapter, we present a study of lexicase selection in a non-genetic-programming context, conducted to investigate the broader applicability of the technique. Specifically, we present a framework for solving Boolean constraint satisfaction problems using a traditional genetic algorithm, with linear genomes of fixed length. We present results of experiments in this framework using three parent selection algorithms: lexicase selection, tournament selection (with several tournament sizes), and fitness-proportionate selection. The results show that when lexicase selection is used, more solutions are found, fewer generations are required to find those solutions, and more diverse populations are maintained. We discuss the implications of these results for the utility of lexicase selection more generally.

It is also possible to limit the initial pools in various ways. When the initial pool contains the entire population, which is the best-studied setting, we refer to the algorithm more specifically as “global pool” lexicase selection.
