About Gepsoft

Founded in 2000, we are the
creators of GeneXproTools.

 
 
 


History
 

Gepsoft Limited is a predictive modeling software company located in Bristol, United Kingdom. Gepsoft was founded in 2000 to market the Gene Expression Programming (GEP) technique invented by Dr. Candida Ferreira, founder and currently director of Gepsoft. The first product to be released was a COM component (GEPSR 1.0 and 2.0) followed by the desktop application APS (Automatic Problem Solver), which won the 2001 Microsoft Portugal Software Award (Science). Gepsoft continues to develop this product, which was renamed GeneXproTools (Gene Expression Programming Tools) after version 4.0.


The first version of APS, which only supported Function Finding, was launched in February 2001. Later that year Gepsoft released a second improved version that also introduced the Classification algorithm. Version 3.0 was released in 2003 after a complete rewrite and introduction of new algorithms for Time Series Prediction and the GEP-RNC algorithm for integrating random numerical constants. GeneXproTools 4.0 was released in July 2006 and supports for the first time unlimited datasets (for both variables and records) and new algorithms for Logic Synthesis and model simplification.

Two months later, in September of 2006, Gepsoft released the software GeneXproServer 1.0, an add-on to GeneXproTools 4.0 and a powerful batch processor of GeneXproTools runs that is essential for the unattended processing of many different datasets.

In March 2008 Gepsoft releases GeneXproTools 4.0 R2 with a new algorithm for Logistic Regression. And in October 2011 GeneXproTools 4.3 was released with ensemble methods and model deployment to Excel, with the add-on GeneXproServer 4.3 following in March 2012.



Research
 

Besides its main website (http://www.gepsoft.com/), Gepsoft maintains a dynamic research website that tracks the developments in Gene Expression Programming:

The GEP algorithm outperforms simple non-genotype-phenotype techniques by a factor of 100 - 60,000. This groundbreaking performance brings predictive modeling to the average personal computer. These advances are due to a novel structural organization that more closely mirrors the evolutionary mechanisms in nature, making the design process not only thoroughly enjoyable but also highly efficient.

 
GeneXproTools

   
   


"Finally, a world class user interface in the field of genetic programming and evolutionary computation !! GeneXproTools is simply unrivaled in its marvelous user interface, the breadth of its Fitness Functions, the choice and flexibility in Math and Logic functions, the clarity of its final Model Presentation, and a built in panel for Scoring new data, right inside the interface. This kind of functionality and ease of use has never been seen before in the field of Genetic Programming. Additionally, Dr Ferreira’s specific methodology of Gene Expression Programming makes important contributions to the field of evolutionary computation, and the various algorithms she has developed and deployed inside of GeneXproTools are brilliantly conceived, and her methodologies evolve highly predictive models that solve real business problems. GeneXproTools is an extraordinary structural tour de force."
