Product Description
Product Description
Genetic programming (GP) is a systematic, domain-independent method for getting computers to solve problems automatically starting from a high-level statement of what needs to be done. Using ideas from natural evolution, GP starts from an ooze of random computer programs, and progressively refines them through processes of mutation and sexual recombination, until high-fitness solutions emerge. All this without the user having to know or specify the form or structure of solutions in advance. GP has generated a plethora of human-competitive results and applications, including novel scientific discoveries and patentable inventions. This unique overview of this exciting technique is written by three of the most active scientists in GP. See www.gp-field-guide.org.uk for more information on the book.

Format:Paperback
This book provides a good enough grounding in the principles behind Genetic Programming to begin to use the techniques discussed in projects. The text is very accessible and well backed up with references and further reading. Even though this book is available as a free download, purchasing the hard copy is well worth it. One word of caution: this book explains the principles and ideas behind GP very well, but what it does not do is hold your hand in a step by step implementation. That said, given moderate coding ability the provided source code of TinyGP provides an excellent starting point.

The Field Guide to Genetic Programming is great. I was looking for a survey of the field and it was perfect; just the right amount of detail and lots of pointers to places to go for more information. Also, unlike many technical books, it's really well written.

Format:Paperback
This is a very readable guide for people who want to get involved in using genetic algorithms to solve problems. Lots of practical tips, although the references tend to cite original authors rather than the latest surveys and reviews (a slight academic bias in what is otherwise a very hands-on book).
