abstract = "Genetic Programming (GP) is a supervised approach to
Machine Learning. GP has for two decades been applied
to a diversity of problems, from predictive and
financial modelling to data mining, from code repair to
optical character recognition and product design. GP
uses a stochastic search, tournament, and fitness
function to explore a solution space. GP evolves a
population of individual programs, through multiple
generations, following the principals of biological
evolution (mutation and reproduction) to discover a
model that best fits or categorizes features in a given
data set. We apply GP to categorization of LIGO noise
and show that it can effectively be used to
characterize the detector non-astrophysical noise both
in low latency and offline searches.",
