遗传算法(GA)和遗传规划(GP)是一个有趣的研究领域。

我想知道你使用GA/GP解决的具体问题,以及如果你没有自己的库/框架,你使用了什么库/框架。

问题:

你用GA/GP解决过什么问题? 你使用了哪些库/框架?

我在寻找第一手的经验,所以请不要回答,除非你有。

I used a simple genetic algorithm to optimize the signal to noise ratio of a wave that was represented as a binary string. By flipping the the bits certain ways over several million generations I was able to produce a transform that resulted in a higher signal to noise ratio of that wave. The algorithm could have also been "Simulated Annealing" but was not used in this case. At their core, genetic algorithms are simple, and this was about as simple of a use case that I have seen, so I didn't use a framework for generation creation and selection - only a random seed and the Signal-to-Noise Ratio function at hand.

在大学期间,我们使用NERO(神经网络和遗传算法的结合)来教游戏中的机器人做出智能决策。非常酷。

进化计算研究生班: 开发了TopCoder马拉松比赛49:megpartty的解决方案。我的小组正在测试不同的域表示法,以及不同的表示法如何影响ga找到正确答案的能力。我们为这个问题编写了自己的代码。

Neuroevolution and Generative and Developmental Systems, Graduate Class: Developed an Othello game board evaluator that was used in the min-max tree of a computer player. The player was set to evaluate one-deep into the game, and trained to play against a greedy computer player that considered corners of vital importance. The training player saw either 3 or 4 deep (I'll need to look at my config files to answer, and they're on a different computer). The goal of the experiment was to compare Novelty Search to traditional, fitness-based search in the Game Board Evaluation domain. Results were relatively inconclusive, unfortunately. While both the novelty search and fitness-based search methods came to a solution (showing that Novelty Search can be used in the Othello domain), it was possible to have a solution to this domain with no hidden nodes. Apparently I didn't create a sufficiently competent trainer if a linear solution was available (and it was possible to have a solution right out of the gates). I believe my implementation of Fitness-based search produced solutions more quickly than my implementation of Novelty search, this time. (this isn't always the case). Either way, I used ANJI, "Another NEAT Java Implementation" for the neural network code, with various modifications. The Othello game I wrote myself.

Several years ago I used ga's to optimize asr (automatic speech recognition) grammars for better recognition rates. I started with fairly simple lists of choices (where the ga was testing combinations of possible terms for each slot) and worked my way up to more open and complex grammars. Fitness was determined by measuring separation between terms/sequences under a kind of phonetic distance function. I also experimented with making weakly equivalent variations on a grammar to find one that compiled to a more compact representation (in the end I went with a direct algorithm, and it drastically increased the size of the "language" that we could use in applications).

最近,我将它们用作默认假设,以此来测试由各种算法生成的解决方案的质量。这主要涉及分类和不同类型的拟合问题(即创建一个“规则”,解释审查员对数据集所做的一组选择)。

当你打算粉刷你的房子时,通常很难得到一个确切的颜色组合。通常,你脑海中有一些颜色,但它不是其中一种颜色,供应商向你展示。

昨天,我的GA研究员教授提到了一个发生在德国的真实故事(对不起,我没有更多的参考资料,是的,如果有人要求我可以找到它)。这个家伙(让我们称他为配色员)曾经挨家挨户地帮助人们找到确切的颜色代码(RGB),这将是客户心目中的衣柜。下面是他的做法:

The color guy used to carry with him a software program which used GA. He used to start with 4 different colors- each coded as a coded Chromosome (whose decoded value would be a RGB value). The consumer picks 1 of the 4 colors (Which is the closest to which he/she has in mind). The program would then assign the maximum fitness to that individual and move onto the next generation using mutation/crossover. The above steps would be repeated till the consumer had found the exact color and then color guy used to tell him the RGB combination!

通过将最大适应度分配给接近消费者想法的颜色,配色员的程序增加了收敛到消费者想法的颜色的机会。我发现它很有趣!

现在我已经得到了一个-1,如果你计划更多的-1,请说明这样做的原因!

这是一段时间以前的事了,但我滚动了一个GA来进化实际上是图像处理内核的东西,以从哈勃太空望远镜(HST)图像中去除宇宙射线痕迹。标准的方法是用哈勃望远镜进行多次曝光,只保留所有图像中相同的东西。由于HST时间是如此宝贵,我是一个天文学爱好者,最近参加了进化计算大会,我考虑使用GA来清理单次曝光。

这些个体以树的形式存在,以3x3像素的区域作为输入,执行一些计算,并决定是否以及如何修改中心像素。通过将输出图像与用传统方法(即叠加曝光)清理的图像进行比较来判断适合度。

这实际上是可行的,但还不足以让我们放弃原来的方法。如果我的论文没有时间限制,我可能已经扩展了算法可用的遗传部分。我很确定我可以大大提高它。

使用的库:如果我没记错的话,用于天文图像数据处理和I/O的IRAF和cfitsio。
