  abstract =     "Many applications of evolutionary algorithms use
                 fitness approximations, for example coarse-grained
                 simulations in lieu of computationally intensive
                 simulations. Here, we propose that it is better to
                 learn approximations that accurately predict the ranks
                 of individuals rather than explicitly estimating their
                 real-valued fitness values. We present an algorithm
                 that coevolves a rank-predictor which optimises to
                 accurately rank the evolving solution population. We
                 compare this method with a similar algorithm that uses
                 fitness-predictors to approximate real-valued
                 fitnesses. We benchmark the two approaches using
                 thousands of randomly-generated test problems in
                 Symbolic Regression with varying difficulties. The rank
                 prediction method showed a 5-fold reduction in
                 computational effort for similar convergence rates.
                 Rank prediction also produced less bloated solutions
                 than fitness prediction.",
