genetic programming
<programming> (GP) A programming technique which extends the genetic
algorithm to the domain of whole computer programs. In GP, populations of
programs are genetically bred to solve problems. Genetic programming can solve
problems of system identification, classification, control, robotics,
optimisation, game playing, and pattern recognition.
Starting with a primordial ooze of hundreds or thousands of randomly created
programs composed of functions and terminals appropriate to the problem, the
population is progressively evolved over a series of generations by applying the
operations of Darwinian fitness proportionate reproduction and crossover (sexual
recombination).
