Abstract

Genetic Programming (GP) for symbolic regression often generates over-complex models, which overfit the training data and have poor generalization onto unseen data. One recent work investigated controlling model complexity by using a new GP representation called Adaptive Weighted Splines (AWS), which is a semi-structured representation that can control the model complexity explicitly. This work extends this previous work by incorporating a new parsimony pressure objective to further control the model complexity. Experimental results demonstrate that the new multi-objective GP method consistently obtains superior fronts and produces better generalizing models compared to single-objective GP with both the tree-based and AWS representation as well a multi-objective tree-based GP method with parsimony pressure.
