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.

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.

没有家庭作业。

1995年，我作为专业程序员的第一份工作是为标准普尔500指数期货编写一个基于遗传算法的自动交易系统。该应用程序是用Visual Basic 3 [!我不知道我当时是怎么做的，因为VB3甚至没有课程。

The application started with a population of randomly-generated fixed-length strings (the "gene" part), each of which corresponded to a specific shape in the minute-by-minute price data of the S&P500 futures, as well as a specific order (buy or sell) and stop-loss and stop-profit amounts. Each string (or "gene") had its profit performance evaluated by a run through 3 years of historical data; whenever the specified "shape" matched the historical data, I assumed the corresponding buy or sell order and evaluated the trade's result. I added the caveat that each gene started with a fixed amount of money and could thus potentially go broke and be removed from the gene pool entirely.

在对种群的每一次评估之后，幸存者被随机杂交(通过混合来自两个亲本的片段)，一个基因被选择为亲本的可能性与它产生的利润成正比。我还添加了点突变的可能性，让事情变得有趣一点。经过几百代这样的基因，我最终得到了一个基因群，它可以把5000美元变成平均约10000美元，而且没有死亡/破碎的可能性(当然是在历史数据上)。

Unfortunately, I never got the chance to use this system live, since my boss lost close to $100,000 in less than 3 months trading the traditional way, and he lost his willingness to continue with the project. In retrospect, I think the system would have made huge profits - not because I was necessarily doing anything right, but because the population of genes that I produced happened to be biased towards buy orders (as opposed to sell orders) by about a 5:1 ratio. And as we know with our 20/20 hindsight, the market went up a bit after 1995.

我不知道家庭作业算不算…

在我学习期间，我们推出了自己的程序来解决旅行推销员问题。

我们的想法是对几个标准进行比较(映射问题的难度，性能等)，我们还使用了其他技术，如模拟退火。

它运行得很好，但我们花了一段时间来理解如何正确地进行“复制”阶段:将手头的问题建模成适合遗传编程的东西，这对我来说是最难的部分……

这是一门有趣的课程，因为我们也涉猎了神经网络之类的知识。

我想知道是否有人在“生产”代码中使用这种编程。

我几周前做了这个有趣的小玩意。它生成有趣的互联网图像使用GA。有点傻，但很好笑。

http://www.twitterandom.info/GAFunny/

对此有一些见解。它是一些mysql表。一个用于图像列表及其评分(即适合度)，另一个用于子图像及其在页面上的位置。

子图像可以有几个细节，但不是全部实现:+大小，倾斜，旋转，+位置，+image_url。

当人们投票决定这张照片有多有趣时，它或多或少会流传到下一代。如果它存活下来，它会产生5-10个带有轻微突变的后代。目前还没有交叉。

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。
