In many genetic programming software products, I can see there is always a function named automatically defined function. This idea is interesting because it can generate some sub-functions, which alleviates the burden of traditional genetic programming algorithms. However, in most recent papers published in evolutionary algorithm journals and conferences, it seems that this method has always been ignored. So why don't most researchers give up such a good idea?

Dear Hengzhe Zhang ,
in my opinion, ADF is a patch for preserving the outstanding segments of individuals in GP from the catastrophic mutation and crossover. The disadvantage of ADF is that, it blocks a adequate communication/exchange of genetic materials due to the type-preserved crossover and mutations.
