Experiment Results

• 106 training examples representing a broad variety of initial block configurations and degrees of difficulty - must contain all boundary conditions!
• fitness of a program was the number of these examples solved, population was initialized to 300 random programs
• after 10 generations - (EQ (DU (MT CS)(Not CS))(DU (MS NN)(NOT NN)) ) - solves all 166 problems - unstack loop followed by a stack loop, EQ used for sequencing only - was 10 runs an average or just a lucky try?...what was the variance?
• GAs have been used to design electronic filter circuits and classify segments of protein molecules - but circuit example used a population of 640000!!!
