Abstract
presents methods to visualize the structure of trees
that occur in genetic programming. These methods allow
for the inspection of structure of entire trees even
though several thousands of nodes may be involved. The
methods also scale to allow for the inspection of
structure for entire populations and for complete
trials even though millions of nodes may be involved.
Examples are given that demonstrate how this new way of
ldquoseeingrdquo can afford a potentially rich way of
understanding dynamics that underpin genetic
programming. The examples indicate further studies that
might be enabled by visualizing structure at these
scales.
