INTRODUCTION
Genetic Programming (GP) is a machine learning technique that writes computer programs, automatically.
Although individual researchers used GP techniques in the 1960’s and 1970’s, GP emerged as a distinct
discipline in 1992.63 Since that time, over one thousand academic studies have been published in the field
and, in 1998, commercial GP software - Discipulus - reached the market.20 Discipulus is an extremely fast,
linear GP system written for the Wintel platform. It runs about two orders of magnitude faster than firstgeneration
GP software. Discipulus generates C/C++ and assembly language programs that map process
inputs to outputs.
This paper reports results from testing Discipulus on three very difficult environmental engineering
problems. It also reports the results of attempts to “fool” Discipulus into inducing a false relationship by
memorizing training data. The test problems presented here all involve real-world environmental
engineering data…
