Guidelines for defining benchmark problems in Genetic Programming
Miguel Nicolau, Alexandros Agapitos, Michael O’Neill, Anthony Brabazon · 2015
The field of Genetic Programming has recently seen a surge of attention to the fact that benchmarking and comparison of approaches is often done in non-standard ways, using poorly designed comparison problems. We raise some issues concerning the design of benchmarks, within the domain of symbolic regression, through experimental evidence. A set of guidelines is provided, aiming towards careful definition and use of artificial functions as symbolic regression benchmarks.
