- abstract = "the use of semantic information in genetic programming operators has shown major improvements in recent years, especially in the regression and boolean domain. As semantic information is domain specific, using it in other areas poses certain problems. Semantic operators require being adapted for the problem domain they are applied to. An attempt to create a semantic crossover for program synthesis has been made with rather limited success, but the results have provided insights about using semantics in program synthesis. Based on this initial attempt, this paper presents an improved version of semantic operators for program synthesis, which contains a small but significant change to the overall functionality, as well as a novel measure for the comparison of the semantics of subtrees. The results show that the improved semantic crossover is superior to the previous semantic operator in the program synthesis domain.",
