On the Automatic Construction of Regular Expressions from Examples (GP vs. Humans 1-0)
Alberto Bartoli, Andrea De Lorenzo, Eric Medvet, Fabiano Tarlao · 2016
Regular expressions are systematically used in a number of different application domains. Writing a regular expression for solving a specific task is usually quite difficult, requiring significant technical skills and creativity. We have developed a tool based on Genetic Programming capable of constructing regular expressions for text extraction automatically, based on examples of the text to be extracted.
