Abstract

A practical method for the offline extraction and analysis of salient patterns from tree-based genetic programming (GP) individuals is proposed. The method is contrasted with Tackett's algorithm [7] and it is shown that relying solely on frequency and fitness profiles for the salient pattern identification can be misleading. To amend Tackett's work a formula for measuring saliency is proposed. A method for separating inert and salient patterns is also discussed.
