Abstract

We empirically investigate the use of relocation operator as a local search operator, in combination with genetic search, in a Tree Adjoining Grammar Guided Genetic Programming system (TAG3P). The results show that, on all the problems we tried, the use of the relocation operator as a local search operator in TAG3P outperforms TAG3P using purely crossover and mutation, and also outperforms standard genetic programming (GP). Moreover, it manages to solve problems with very small population sizes.
