Written in the programming language Python, Karoo GP owes its foundation to the “Field Guide to Genetic Programming” by Poli, Langdon, McPhee, and Koza. + +Karoo GP provides a transparent interface to the inner workings of genetic programming. As a teaching tool, it enables instructors to showcase, step-by-step, how an evolutionary algorithm arrives to its solution. As a hands-on learning tool, Karoo GP supports rapid, repeatable experimentation with a simple, no-programming-required interface. Included with Karoo GP are two executables: an intuitive Text-based User Interface with built-in, real-world test cases, and a fully scriptable, single-line configuration which provides SciKit Learn-like functionality. + +The Quick Start Tutorial (PDF) offers system requirements, a crash-course in Genetic Programming, and use of Karoo GP for both the novice and advanced user. + +Feedback is welcomed. + +Enjoy! + +Kai Staats + +www.kaistaats.com/research/
