The effects of recombination on phenotypic exploration and robustness in evolution.
Paper summary
Studies mutation and recombination in a linear genetic-programming system using genotypic and phenotypic measures. Recombination promotes exploration and robustness and is less phenotypically disruptive than mutation in this setup.
Relevance to the project
A comparison for selecting variation operators for an evolved builder. Read alongside developmental-encoding results, where recombination can instead disrupt useful structure.
Operator effects are representation-dependent rather than universal.
