24 Aug 2021  ·  Bogdan Burlacu, Michael Affenzeller, Michael Kommenda ·

This paper describes a methodology for analyzing the evolutionary dynamics of genetic programming (GP) using genealogical information, diversity measures and information about the fitness variation from parent to offspring. We introduce a new subtree tracing approach for identifying the origins of genes in the structure of individuals, and we show that only a small fraction of ancestor individuals are responsible for the evolvement of the best solutions in the population.
