abstract = "...for automating this design process. We introduce
Agentic GP, a framework in which multiple AI agents ,
specializing in different GP components, collaborate to
build GP systems from scratch based on user-defined
requirements. We first describe a general version of
the framework applicable to any class of AI agents ,
and then focus on how that framework can be
instantiated using Large Language Model (LLM) agents.
We also implemented a simple prototype of the framework
using an LLM agent designed to generate selection
methods for a given GP system. We evaluated this
prototype using a tree-based GP system on a suite of
symbolic regression tasks. While it frequently
generated selection methods that resulted in runtime
errors, the valid methods it produced consistently
performed better than random selection but worse than
established benchmark methods such as lexicase and
tournament selection. This indicates the need for
further enhancements in this simple design of the
agentic framework.",
