Genetic programming: An introduction and tutorial, with a survey of techniques and applications

Abstract

The goal of having computers automatically solve problems is central to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the broad area encompassed by what Turing called 'machine intelligence' [384]. Machine learning pioneer Arthur Samuel, in his 1983 talk entitled 'AI: Where It Has Been and Where It Is Going' [337], stated that the main goal of the fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence is: "to getmachines to exhibit behavior, which if done by humans, would be assumed to involve the use of intelligence." © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
