摘要
En 中文
The initial population distribution is an essential issue in evolutionary computation performance. Population initialization methods for grammar-guided genetic programming have some difficulties generating a representative sample of the search space, which negatively affects the overall evolutionary process. This paper presents a grammatically uniform population initialization method to address this issue by improving the initial population uniformity: the equiprobability of obtaining any individual of the search space defined by the context-free grammar. The proposed initialization method assigns and updates probabilities dynamically to the production rules of the grammar to pursue uniformity and includes a code bloat control mechanism. We have conducted empirical experiments to compare the proposed algorithm with a standard initialization approach very often used in grammar-guided genetic programming. The results report that the proposed initialization method approximates very well a uniform distribution of the individuals in the search space. Moreover, the overall evolutionary process that takes place after the population initialization performs better in terms of convergence speed and quality of the final solutions achieved when the proposed method generates the initial population than when the usual approach does. The results also show that these performance differences are more significant when the experiments involve large search spaces.
