!Giving Genes their Voice: A Survey of information Expression Mechanisms in Genetic Algorithms
!!Abhishek Singh
!!!Abstract:
Advances in the theory of GAs have led to an understanding of their
underlying behavior as well as the problems faced by such algorithms, leading to efforts
to effectively deal with such challenges. It is indeed remarkable how many of the
mechanisms tackling such issues have their metaphors in nature. These mechanisms can
be broadly classified into information processing (ways to process and generate GA
information to make good evolutionary decisions) and information expression (ways to
represent and express information within a GA to guide the information processing)
mechanisms. This review aims at collecting, organizing, and presenting some of the
salient work done in the latter. This includes the phenomenon of non-functional coding,
information redundancy, dominance, gene expression, pleiotropy, and polygeny among
others. This survey attempts to look at all of these under the seemingly vast rubric of
genetic information expression. One of the attempts of this study is to reveal the
underlying connections between these phenomena and to present them in a practical
problem-solving framework vis-à-vis GA practice and theory.
