Gene expression programming (GEP) introduced by Candida Ferreira is a descendant of genetic algorithm (GA) and genetic programming (GP). It takes the advantage of both the optimization and search technique based on genetics and natural selection as GA and its programmatic Darwinian counterpart GP. It is gaining popularity because; it has to some extent eradicated the ‘cons' of both while keeping in the ‘pros'. It is still a new technique not much explored since its introduction in 2001. In this chapter both GA and GP is first discussed followed by the elaborate discussion of GEP. This is followed up by the discussion on research work done is different fields using GEP as a tool followed up by GEP architectures. Finally, here GEP has been used for detection of age from facial features as a soft computing based optimization problem using genetic operators.

The paper investigates a Gene Expression Programming (GEP)-based ensemble classifier constructed using the stacked generalization concept. The classifier has been implemented with a view to enable parallel processing with the use of Spark and SWIM — an open source genetic programming library. The classifier has been validated in computational experiments carried out on benchmark datasets. Also, it has been inbvestigated how the results are influenced by some settings. The paper is an extension of a previous paper of the authors.

AbstractThis study employs four (4) Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) variants namely GARCH (1, 1), Glosten–Jagannathan–Runkle (GJR), Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA)-GARCH and ARIMA-GJR as benchmark models to assess the performance of a proposed novel Gene Expression Programming (GEP) based univariate time series modeling approach used to conduct ex ante oil price volatility forecasts. The report illustrates that the GEP model is more superior to any of the traditional models on issues relating to both loss functions applied. The GEP model is of a greater volatility forecasting precision at different forecast horizons, therefore. There is also the existence of evidence that GJR and ARIMA-GJR differ in their loss functions, the performance is nevertheless better than GARCH (1, 1) and ARIMA-GARCH. This study conducted herein achieves importance in literature by broadening the application of gene algorithms in finance and forecasting. It also solves the problem of high error associated with the use of GARCH related models in oil price volatility forecasting.
