Abstract Genetic algorithms are a randomized search method based on the biological model of evolution through mating and mutation. In the classic genetic algorithm, problem solutions are encoded into bit strings which are tested for fitness, then the best bit strings are combined to form new solutions using methods which mimic the Darwinian process of "survival of the fittest" and the exchange of DNA which occurs during mating in biological systems. The programming of genetic algorithms involves
Chapter 4 GENETIC ALGORITHM Overview Genetic Algorithm is a sequential procedure developed from the science involved in genetic behaviour organisms for optimization purpose. Working Principle of GA includes the simulation of evolution theory in which, the initial set of “population” is selected in random, and then successive "generations" of solutions are reproduced till the optimal convergence. Existence of the fittest individual and natural selection operators is the main agenda of GA process
Genetic Algorithm Operations The basic GA that can produce acceptable results in many practical problems is composed of three operations: a. Reproduction b. Crossover c. Mutation The reproduction process is to allow the genetic information, stored in the good fitness for survive the next generation of the artificial strings, whereas the population's string has assigned a value and its aptitude in the object function. This value has the probability of being chosen as the parent in the reproduction
a number of statistical algorithms had been applied to perform clustering to the data including the text documents. There are recent endeavors to enhance the performance of the clustering with the optimization based algorithms such as the evolutionary algorithms. Thus, document clustering with evolutionary algorithms became an emerging topic that gained more attention in the recent years. This paper presents an up-to-date review fully devoted to evolutionary algorithms designed for document clustering
overall about genetic algorithms. An introduction of algorithm is given and how and why they work is explained with help of examples. Different procedures are explained that are used in genetic algorithms Chapter-4 describes the factors that differentiate one test case from other according as their fitness. How these factors are estimated mathematically for a particular test case using an example is given. Chapter-5 describes my whole work i.e. generation of testcases using genetic algorithm. Process
theories will discussed and tested against three buildings. The theories are: parametric design, genetic architecture and emergence, which characterize some of the contemporary architectural design approaches. One of the common designing techniques using in Architecture is parametric design. The term of parametric Design “is a methodology of using advanced visualization technology and mathematical algorithms to optimize structure and material form to advance resource efficiency and innovative solutions
2 Evolutionary Computation Algorithms 2.1 Introduction Evolutionary computation algorithms are based on the biology evolution theory. Have you ever heard the phrase "Survival of the fittest" - Herbert Spencer? Imagine an island of castaways and the only resource of food are coconut trees. It make sense that whoever is tall enough will feed and survive. A few years after those people will match and give birth to children with better characteristics, in our case taller. So as the years gone by and

fascinated by programming subjects such as C, OOPC and Data Structures. During my third year I also learned Java and Theory of Computation. During the fourth year, I was fascinated by subjects such as computer networks, network security and encryption algorithms like
function of each neuron. The network maps an input vector from one space to another. In case of the network mapping it is not specified but is learned. Out of these methods of optimization, mostly chosen and the one chosen in the present study is genetic algorithm, a detailed discussion on which is been given in chapter 4.
The classical job-shop scheduling problem (JSP) is a combinatorial optimization problem, which is among the most complicated problems in the scheduling area. The JSP has been proven to be NP-hard (Zhang et al., 2008). Flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is a generalization of the classical JSP. It takes shape when alternative production routing is allowed in the classical job-shop (Al-Hinai, 2011). FJSP is NP-hard due to; (a) assignment decisions of operations to a subset of machines and
CHAPTER TWO – LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Concept of Site Layout Planning The site layout in every construction sites requiring a good planning. A proper planned site layout would definitely reduce the cost and time for construction. Before planning, there are three issues needed to be considered. The first one is identify the temporary facilities needed to support the overall site operation and all the temporary facilities are not a part of the permanent structure. The next issue is to find out the shape
The system learns to infer a function from a collection of labeled training data. The training dataset contains a set of input features and several instance values for respective features. The predictive performance accuracy of a machine learning algorithm depends on the supervised learning scheme [8]. The aim of the inferred function may be to solve a regression or classification problem. There are several metrics used in the measurement of the learning task like accuracy, sensitivity, specificity
To the programming community the algorithms described in this chapter and their methods are known as feature selection algorithms. This theoretical subject has been examined by researchers for decades and a large number of methods have been proposed. The terms attribute and feature are interchangeable and refer to the predictor values throughout this chapter, and for the remainder of the thesis. In this theoretical way of thinking, dimensionality reduction techniques are typically made up of two
for 4 queens placement The data I have gathered is in the form of execution time required to find all possible unique solutions for a given number of queens. I have used two time stamps to find the actual execution time required for this serial algorithm. I have placed one timestamp named as 'start' at the beginning of the function and one timestamp named as 'end' after completion of this function. Then I have calculated the total execution time to find all solutions by simply taking the difference
The Dangers of Technology Within the past two years computers have become a new way of doing business, enjoying various forms of entertainment, and interacting with others for the majority of our nation. Almost every aspect of technical work in industry today involves the computer in some way. It is hard to find something in the world at this present time that wasn’t either made by a computer program, or houses a computer of its own. Keeping this in mind while reading Ray Kurzweil’s article
Mathematics has always been a necessary component in modern warfare. During the World War II era, mathematicians Alan Turing and John von Neumann were responsible for some of the technological and scientific developments which contributed Allied victory. After considering their accomplishments before the war, their contributions during the war, and how they were recognized after the war, you will see that each mathematician is remembered very differently for their contributions. Turing is barely
today like C, C++ and Java. Since when I was introduced to the world of computer programming, I could see the minute similarities between the languages and could translate almost any program from one to another. My extraordinary skill in writing algorithms helped me in working for a project titled ‘Hotel Management using C++’ during the event ‘Insight 2009’ which was conducted by Tata Consultancy Services. After the project, I wanted to extend my field of expertise beyond the world of programming
approaches to produce greater results with reduced resources (space, time). To answer the questions like Can something be efficient, yet small, easy and still perform herculean tasks. My area of interest is the study and contribution towards field of algorithms and optimized solutions. So I will undertake postgraduate study in Computer Science in Stony Brook University. To achieve this I plan to study the relevant disciplines which will enable me to accomplish what I desire. In my work experience and academics
