C# conversion
	I am attempting to convert the tiny_gp.java to c#. Are there any test cases available (i.e. fitness data with a know result set)? Thanks! Steve K. By Stedak  - 22 Sep - 4 new of 4 messages

A question about your TinyGP

I downloaded Genetic Programming program (tiny_gp.java) from the web page of professor Riccardo Poli and run it with and sin-data.txt file (also downloaded from tiny gp web page) but each time I run the program I get the message 'Problem *Not* solved', I increased the number of generations from 100 to 10000 but at generation 280 I get an... more » By Mostafa Kalantar  - 17 Aug - 1 new of 1 message

computational effort

People in our group wanted to see more info about the population size and number of gens and computer time to solve different kinds of problems. I suppose it's a thankless task, but something as simple as a giant table would be great. Maybe someone could put up a empty table on a wiki page and invite folks in the GP community to fill in the... more » By Forrest Bennett  - 16 May - 1 new of 1 message

some question

hello, it's written on section B.1 about characteristics of TinyGP, and point 1 said that the terminal is a user-definable number of floating point variables (named x1 to xn). is it mean that TinyGP only use variables (one of the terminal set mentioned on table 3.1) as the terminal? is it mean TinyGP can't use constant values and 0-arity functions... more » By Lyani  - 14 May - 4 new of 4 messages

	The Field Guide in HTML
	We have produced an HTML version of the book. It is not perfect but we think it may be usable (and, hopefully, useful). This is available at [link]. Cheers. Riccardo By rp...@essex.ac.uk  - 10 May - 1 new of 1 message

	Tiny GP and random numbers
	hallo, i'm using java program, Tiny GP (written by Riccardo Poli), to learn about Genetic Programming. is it possible to this program using random numbers as the input (terminal) that will result an output with random numbers as a variable? and if it's possible, how should i write the input file?... more » By sanny  - 6 May - 4 new of 4 messages

	software engineering
	(I had a local group of software engineers read the tutorial that overlaps with the book.) They were more interested in evolving actual code than in doing engineering design problems with simulators, or doing optimization, data modeling, science problems, etc. We talked a lot about the limits of GP for doing traditional software... more » By Forrest Bennett  - 12 Apr - 1 new of 1 message

	Addressing problem selection for GP
	I had a local group of software professions read the tutorial that overlaps with the book. People seemed to find the explanation of GP itself very clear - there were literally no questions on that. 50% of the questions centered around issues of problem selection. Looking through your section 7.11 titled, "Where can we Expect GP to... more » By Forrest Bennett  - 7 Apr - 2 new of 2 messages

	Welcome to the Field Guide to GP group!
	As there have now been over 1,800 downloads of A Field Guide to Genetic Programming, and we're starting to receive questions and comments based on the book, it seemed important to create some sort of space where readers can discuss the book. We went with a mailing list/discussion group as the simplest option.... more » By Nic McPhee  - 3 Apr - 1 message
