Genetic Algorithms with Optimization Guided Operators

The paper introduces a new framework for genetic algorithms where mutation and recombination operators are guided by machine‑learning optimization rather than random changes. It shows that such operators can improve objective values but at higher computational cost, and demonstrates three key phenomena: the necessity of solution‑pool diversity for parity learning, the simultaneous need for generation, mutation, and recombination to achieve near‑optimal solutions, and a phase transition in Gaussian settings where positive drift yields exponential speedup.

Evolutional Math: Cross-Validated Island-Model Genetic Programming for Interpretable Symbolic Regression on Small, Wide Datasets

arXiv:2606. 28381v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Symbolic regression via genetic programming routinely fails on small, wide datasets - a regime common in clinical-trial monitoring, biostatistics, and engineering pilot studies - by converging on bloated, overfit expressions that exploit correlation rather than prediction.
