The Failed Promise of Genetic Programming
- mindcrime 7y agoThe actual title is "Why We Do Not Evolve Software? Analysis of Evolutionary Algorithms". This is a good example of the kind of editorializing of titles that should not be allowed, IMO.
- SQueeeeeL 7y agoVery odd that this paper only has 2 citations. Seems like a nice general overview of the topic.
- mlevental 7y agobibliography length is a fetish. I'm writing a paper and I cited Lord Rayleigh for analysis of the airy disk. did I really need to cite him? who really doesn't know that Rayleigh's criterion was devised by Rayleigh? but I did because I'm taking precaution against someone either asking me rederive diffraction through a circular aperture or accusing me of not giving credit where credit is due. it's dumb. some academics are obsessed with attribution (God forbid you're not acknowledged for your incremental genius)
