Genetic Algorithm - Simple Generational Genetic Algorithm Procedure

Simple Generational Genetic Algorithm Procedure

  1. Choose the initial population of individuals
  2. Evaluate the fitness of each individual in that population
  3. Repeat on this generation until termination (time limit, sufficient fitness achieved, etc.):
    1. Select the best-fit individuals for reproduction
    2. Breed new individuals through crossover and mutation operations to give birth to offspring
    3. Evaluate the individual fitness of new individuals
    4. Replace least-fit population with new individuals

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or genetic:

    “The old-fashioned idea that the simple piling up of experiences, one on top of another, can make you an artist, is, of course, so much rubbish. If acting were just a matter of experience, then any busy harlot could make Garbo’s Camille pale.”
    —Helen Hayes (1900–1993)

    “Man is not merely the sum of his masks. Behind the shifting face of personality is a hard nugget of self, a genetic gift.... The self is malleable but elastic, snapping back to its original shape like a rubber band. Mental illness is no myth, as some have claimed. It is a disturbance in our sense of possession of a stable inner self that survives its personae.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
