The Inefficiency of Genetic Programming for Symbolic Regression -- Extended Version

no code implementations26 Apr 2024 Gabriel Kronberger, Fabricio Olivetti de Franca, Harry Desmond, Deaglan J. Bartlett, Lukas Kammerer

This enables us to quantify the success probability of finding the best possible expressions, and to compare the search efficiency of genetic programming to random search in the space of semantically unique expressions.

Transformation-Interaction-Rational Representation for Symbolic Regression

1 code implementation25 Apr 2022 Fabricio Olivetti de Franca

In this representation, the function form is restricted to an affine combination of terms generated as the application of a single univariate function to the interaction of selected variables.

For this particular competition, the main goal is to beat all of the eight bosses using a generalist strategy.

Interaction-Transformation Evolutionary Algorithm for Symbolic Regression

1 code implementation11 Feb 2019 Fabricio Olivetti de Franca, Guilherme Seidyo Imai Aldeia

The Interaction-Transformation (IT) is a new representation for Symbolic Regression that restricts the search space into simpler, but expressive, function forms.

A Greedy Search Tree Heuristic for Symbolic Regression

no code implementations4 Jan 2018 Fabricio Olivetti de Franca

This paper introduces a new data structure, called Interaction-Transformation (IT), that constrains the search space in order to exclude a region of larger and more complicated expressions.

Maximizing Diversity for Multimodal Optimization

no code implementations10 Jun 2014 Fabricio Olivetti de Franca

Most multimodal optimization algorithms use the so called \textit{niching methods}~\cite{mahfoud1995niching} in order to promote diversity during optimization, while others, like \textit{Artificial Immune Systems}~\cite{de2010conceptual} try to find multiple solutions as its main objective.

A Flexible Fitness Function for Community Detection in Complex Networks

no code implementations10 Jun 2014 Fabricio Olivetti de Franca, Guilherme Palermo Coelho

Most community detection algorithms from the literature work as optimization tools that minimize a given \textit{fitness function}, while assuming that each node belongs to a single community.

Iterative Universal Hash Function Generator for Minhashing

1 code implementation23 Jan 2014 Fabricio Olivetti de Franca

In order to speed up the computation, a random permutation can be approximated by using an universal hash function such as the $h_{a, b}$ function proposed by Carter and Wegman.
