Evolutionary Algorithm - Implementation of Biological Processes

Implementation of Biological Processes

  1. Generate the initial population of individuals randomly - first Generation
  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 - parents
    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 biological and/or processes:

    “No further evidence is needed to show that “mental illness” is not the name of a biological condition whose nature awaits to be elucidated, but is the name of a concept whose purpose is to obscure the obvious.”
    —Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)

    “It has become a people’s war, and peoples of all sorts and races, of every degree of power and variety of fortune, are involved in its sweeping processes of change and settlement.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
