Genetic Programming

I spent about 3 years in the field of genetic programming, here's some of what came of that, about midway though.  

Thesis (Div3): The Evolution of Intelligent Behavior via Genetic Programming

A Div 3 is a final, year long project at Hampshire College that focuses on a single topic.  I'm using the imposed unbiased creativity of Genetic Programming to investigate the nature of intelligence and intelligent behavior.  Specifically, I'm trying to evolve efficient controllers for semi-realistic lawnmower agents, and other things. 

An introduction to the motivations of my DIV3.

Software [runtime]

Genetic Lawn Mower Evolution of gird based lawn mower controller.  Written in JAVA, includes AWT based visualization of behavior.

GP Java Mark 2 - Java Benchmark program that test JRE performance on a simple, but typical Alife-GP problem (evolution, via tournament selection, of a lawn mower controller for a linear, CPU based genome). 

GP Java Mark 1, for testing int and float performance on symbolic regression via tournament upon a linear genome).
