Genetic Network Programming

Too Few Initial Nodes

Too Many Initial Nodes

Accuracy of 0.52 after 200 Generations

Variable-Size Genetic Network Programming

Main Challenges

• Deleting to many nodes 🚨.
• Deleting "important" nodes 🚨.
• Adding to many nodes 🚨.

Main Approach

• Only delete unused nodes 🔧.
• Only add nodes if all existing nodes are used 🔧.
• Novel operator is fitness neutral ✅.
• No hyperparameter needed ✅.
