Terms
A candidate solution.
What is individual?
What is mu?
And algorithm, where for a vector of length L, it picks a number c between 1 and L, inclusive, and swaps all the indexes >=c.
What is One-Point Crossover?
An algorithm that adds the fittest individuals from the previous population into the next population.
What is elitism?
The current collection of candidate solutions.
What is population?
One of the main phases of a basic evolutionary algorithm, which also represent the only differences between (mu+lambda) and (mu, lambda).
What is Join?
An algorithm that selects individuals in proportion to their fitness.
What is Roulette Selection?
Technique developed by James Kennedy and Russell Eberhart which is essentially a form of directed mutation.
What is Particle Swarm Optimisation?
Plain Tweaking, often thought as “asexual” breeding.
What is mutation
Selecting individuals procedure employed by Evolutionary Strategies.
What is Truncation Selection?
The primary selection technique used for the Genetic Algorithms.
What is Tournament Selection?
An algorithm that uses half the memory of a traditional genetic algorithm.
What is Steady-State GA?
An individual’s data structure used during breeding.
What is Genotype?
Rule by Indo Rechenberg for changing the mutation rate in Gaussian Convolution?
What is One-Fifth Rule?
The degree to which various genes are functionally intertwined in their effect on fitness.
What is epistasis?
The family of algorithms that combines some kind of global optimisation algorithm with some kind of local improvement algorithm.
What are Memetic Algorithms?
