Description
Genetic programming is a method for getting a computer to solve a problem by telling it what needs to be done instead of how to do it. Koza, Bennett, Andre, and Keane present genetically evolved solutions to dozens of problems of design, optimal control, classification, system identification, function learning, and computational molecular biology. Among the solutions are 14 results competitive with human-produced results, including 10 rediscoveries of previously patented inventions.
Researchers in artificial intelligence, machine learning, evolutionary computation, and genetic algorithms will find this an essential reference to the most recent and most important results in the rapidly growing field of genetic programming.

Reviews / Votes
"Koza, Bennett, Andre, and Keane's evolutionary algorithm builds more complex and useful structures than the other approaches to computer learning that I have seen."?John McCarthy, Stanford University
"John Koza and colleagues have demonstrated that genetic programming can be used to search highly discontinuous spaces and thereby find amazing solutions to practical engineering problems."
?Bernard Widrow, Stanford University
"In this impressive volume, the authors demonstrate that genetic programming is more than an intriguing idea-it is a practical synthesis method for solving hard problems."
?Nils J. Nilsson, Stanford University
"Through careful experiment, keen algorithmic intuition, and relentless application the authors deliver important results that rival those achieved by human designers. All readers in genetic and evolutionary computation and the related fields of artificial life, agents, and adaptive behavior will want this volume in their collections."
?David E. Goldberg, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
"John Koza and his coauthors continue their relentless pursuit of a holy grail
in computer science: automatic programming."
?Moshe Sipper, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Lausanne
