Abstract. The performance of an information retrieval system is usually measured in terms of two different criteria, precision and recall. This way, the optimization of any of its components is a clear example of a multiobjective problem. However, although evolutionary programming have been widely applied in the information retrieval area, in all of these applications both criteria have been combined in a single scalar fitness function by means of a weighting scheme. In this paper, we deal with using of Genetic Programming in Information retrieval specially in optimizing of a Boolean query. 1
