Stack-Based Genetic Improvement
Aymeric Blot, Justyna Petke · 2020
Genetic improvement (GI) uses automated search to find improved versions of existing software. If originally GI directly evolved populations of software, most GI work nowadays use a solution representation based on a list of mutations. This representation however has some limitations, notably in how genetic material can be re-combined. We introduce a novel stack-based representation and discuss its possible benefits.
