just a small comment to add to this issue of speed: Sean, in your estimate you mentioned "single threaded" - but an inexpensive desktop machine now has quad...

Two things: 1) I want to second Natalio's enthusiasm for the topic. I wonder if we should hold an impromptu lunch meet up during gecco on this? Or, when the ...
... No, i did not ignore the above at all (I've been playing this game for a while now). Still, the constraints of 100 independent runs (how many runs you...

Hi Sean, What a great question. The authors of the recent Open Issues article would certainly agree with you on the toy problem problem ;-) See section 2.7 in...
Hi Bill, I agree that structured tree problems have their uses, particularly for understanding what's going on in some of our systems, but as you suggested in...
I've often wondered why "structured tree" problems were not more popular for the kind of benchmarking Sean has described. By "structured tree" problems, I mean...
Hi All, Let me add to Simon's mail (which I agree completely with) by mentioning the Mario AI benchmark, which is about learning to play a version of the video...
Hi all, Games also provide an excellent source of problems - in some cases very simple to specify but hard to "solve". Evolving a complete game player is hard,...

We've recently been looking at numerical dynamical systems as a source of hard, but relatively fast to simulate, problems. This is particularly so for discrete...
Hi Sean, Here's my suggestion for a difficult problem - the work by Julian Miller et al. on predicting prime numbers [1]. Thanks, David [1] J.A. Walker and...

The trouble with bioinformatics benchmark datasets is that they go stale quickly (new experiments, technology and sometimes paradigm shifts change the "target"...
... Bill, I'll go through them. ... I hear you: and I really do appreciate that argument of testing on "real-world" problems. But I think speed is more...

Hi All, Thanks for all the responses for this, much appreciated. I'll send out some personal thanks as I go through them over the next few days. Regards ...
I think GP has a toy problem problem. GP and related literature is FAR too often applied to trivial problems, by which I mean problems for which we expect the...
