在学校的一次研讨会上，我们开发了一个基于音乐模式生成音乐的应用程序。该程序是在Java中构建的，输出是一个midi文件与歌曲。我们使用不同的GA方法来生成音乐。我认为这个程序可以用来探索新的组合。

我构建了一个简单的GA，用于在音乐播放时从频谱中提取有用的模式。输出用于驱动winamp插件中的图形效果。

输入:一些FFT帧(想象一个二维浮点数组) 输出:单个浮点值(输入的加权和)，阈值为0.0或1.0 基因:输入权重 适应度函数:占空比、脉宽、BPM在合理范围内的组合。

我将一些ga调整到频谱的不同部分以及不同的BPM限制，所以它们不会趋向于收敛到相同的模式。来自每个种群的前4个的输出被发送到渲染引擎。

一个有趣的副作用是，整个人群的平均健康状况是音乐变化的一个很好的指标，尽管通常需要4-5秒才能发现。

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!

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)。

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.

In 2007-9 I developed some software for reading datamatrix patterns. Often these patterns were difficult to read, being indented into scratched surfaces with all kinds of reflectance properties, fuzzy chemically etched markings and so on. I used a GA to fine tune various parameters of the vision algorithms to give the best results on a database of 300 images having known properties. Parameters were things like downsampling resolution, RANSAC parameters, amount of erosion and dilation, low pass filtering radius, and a few others. Running the optimisation over several days this produced results which were about 20% better than naive values on a test set of images unseen during the optimisation phase.

这个系统完全是从零开始编写的，我没有使用任何其他库。我并不反对使用这些东西，只要它们能提供可靠的结果，但是您必须注意许可兼容性和代码可移植性问题。
