Definitions for "Genetic programming"
GENETIC ALGORITHM applied to programs. GENETIC PROGRAMMING is more expressive than fixed-length character string GA though GAs are likely to be more efficient for some classes of problems. See Q1.5 for more information.
a programming technique that extends the genetics algorithm to the domain of whole computer programs. It purposes is to automatically generate computer programs that optimally solve a particular problem.
In artificial intelligence, this form of programming automatically generates a program from a set of primitive constructs.
