abstract = "There are two important limitations of standard
tree-based genetic programming (GP). First, GP tends to
evolve unnecessarily large programs, what is referred
to as bloat. Second, GP uses inefficient search
operators that focus on modifying program syntax. The
first problem has been studied in many works, with many
bloat control proposals. Regarding the second problem,
one approach is to use alternative search operators,
for instance geometric semantic operators, to improve
convergence. In this work, our goal is to
experimentally show that both problems can be
effectively addressed by incorporating a local search
optimizer as an additional search operator. Using
real-world problems, we show that this rather simple
strategy can improve the convergence and performance of
tree-based GP, while reducing program size. Given these
results, a question arises: why are local search
strategies so uncommon in GP? A small survey of popular
GP libraries suggests to us that local search is
underused in GP systems. We conclude by outlining
plausible answers for this question and highlighting
future work.",
