2019 CEC Special Session on:
"Gene Expression Programming and Its Applications"

IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation 2019
J10-13 JUNE 2019, WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND

Gene Expression Programming (GEP) is a popular evolutionary algorithm for automatic generation of computer programs. Over the past decades, GEP has undergone rapid advancements and developments. A number of enhanced GEPs have been proposed to date, such as Parallel GEP, Cooperative Co-evolutionary GEP, and Multi-task GEP. The real-world applications of GEP are also multiplying fast, including regression, classification, combinatorial optimization, data mining and knowledge discovery.

The aim of this special session is to provide a forum for researchers in this field to exchange the latest advances in theories, technologies, and practice of Gene Expression Programming.

Scope and Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, GEP in the following aspects:

  • Gene Expression Programming for Symbolic Regression
  • Gene Expression Programming for Classification
  • Gene Expression Programming for Combinatorial Optimizationn
  • Parallel Gene Expression Programming
  • Gene Expression Programming with Feature Selection
  • Gene Expression Programming with Transfer Learning
  • Multi-objective Gene Expression Programming
  • Semantic-based Gene Expression Programming
  • Cooperative Co-evolutionary Gene Expression Programming
  • Theoretical analysis of Gene Expression Programming
  • Real-world Applications of Gene Expression Programming
  • Multi-task Gene Expression Programming
