Abstract
a modularisation strategy for linear genetic
programming (GP) based on a substring
compression/substitution scheme. The purpose of this
substitution scheme is to protect building blocks and
is in other words a form of learning linkage. The
compression of the genotype provides both a protection
mechanism and a form of genetic code reuse. This paper
presents results for synthetic genetic algorithm (GA)
reference problems like SEQ and OneMax as well as
several standard GP problems. These include a real
world application of GP to data compression. Results
show that despite the fact that the compression
substrings assumes a tight linkage between alleles,
this approach improves the search process.
