title = "Elitism reduces bloat in genetic programming",
abstract = "Elitism is commonly used in generational GP to ensure that the best individuals discovered in a generation are not lost, and are made available for possible further improvements to new generations. Using two GP systems and four problems, we show how elitism reduces the growth of mean program size.",
