Abstract
In this paper, we apply the ideas from [2] to investigate the effect of
some semantic based guidance to the crossover operator of GP. We conduct a
series of experiments on a family of real-valued symbolic regression problems,
examining four different semantic aware crossover operators. One operator
considers the semantics of the exchanged subtrees, while the other compares the
semantics of the child trees to their parents. Two control operators are adopted
which reverse the logic of the semantic equivalence test. The results show that
on the family of test problems examined, the (approximate) semantic aware
crossover operators can provide performance advantages over the standard subtree crossover adopted in Genetic Programming.
