Evaluation of Population Initialization Methods for Genetic Programming-based Symbolic Regression

Lukas Kammerer, Gabriel Kronberger, Deaglan J. Bartlett, Harry Desmond, Pedro G. Ferreira, Stephan Winkler

We analyze the effect of optimizing the initial population of genetic programming (GP) for symbolic regression (SR) on the accuracy and complexity of solutions. We compare three well-established random initialization methods as well as initialization with small optimized solution…Read more
