Attendance: Nic, Wren, Bill, Frode, Karthik, Mike, Eddie (scribe)

Bill:

• Use GP regression plus more traditional engineering techniques in a wide range of applications.
• EHC
  • New benchmarks with tournament selection show that EHC is still much better
  • 5 iterations of EHC create average program sizes that are similar to basic GP with tournament selection.

  Finite Algebras with GP

• Lee has system that works with no evolutions
• Lee’s new system has come the analysis of which Finite Algebras GP could and could not find solutions.

Nic

• GPTP
  • Genetic Programming Theory and Practice
  • On graph database
• Working with Tom on simplification (and its effect on generalization)

Wren

• Unclear what is noise and what is crucial
• Possibly going to smooth data

Frode

• coming back

Karthik

• Searching over Java objects

Eddie

  • Bonding is functional
  • involuntary transactions coming soon
• Arcadia
  • Planetary Orbits

Mike
