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:

    “Biological possibility and desire are not the same as biological need. Women have childbearing equipment. For them to choose not to use the equipment is no more blocking what is instinctive than it is for a man who, muscles or no, chooses not to be a weightlifter.”
    —Betty Rollin (b. 1936)

    “The higher processes are all processes of simplification. The novelist must learn to write, and then he must unlearn it; just as the modern painter learns to draw, and then learns when utterly to disregard his accomplishment, when to subordinate it to a higher and truer effect.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)
