Benefits of a population: five mechanisms that advantage population-based algorithms
No full textThis paper identifies five distinct mechanisms by which a population-based algorithm might have an advantage over a solo-search algorithm in classical optimization. These mechanisms are illustrated through a number of toy problems. Simulations are presented comparing different search algorithms on these problems. The plausibility of these mechanisms occurring in classical optimization problems is discussed. The first mechanism we consider relies on putting together building blocks from different solutions. This is extended to include problems containing critical variables. The second mechanism is the result of focusing of the search caused by crossover. Also discussed in this context is strong focusing produced by averaging many solutions. The next mechanism to be examined is the ability of a population to act as a low-pass filter of the landscape, ignoring local distractions. The fourth mechanism is a population's ability to search different parts of the fitness landscape, thus hedging against bad luck in the initial position or the decisions it makes. The final mechanism is the opportunity of learning useful parameter values to balance exploration against exploitation
Bob Bennett presentation, continued. Discussion following Bennet's book review, new president's remarks, closing of 1980 session
No full textRobert Bennett gives a presentation on Western intellectual history and the Black presence in the Bible. Bennett claims racism as a part of Western methodological study of the bible and Western intellectual history. He discusses the number of questions that can be raised from the bible. He also discusses the discoveries from his travel to the Nile and Jordan valley. Historical references to the Nile valley, and to the people and culture (Kushite, Egyptians, Ethiopians, Nubians and Hebrews) are made in relation to the African presence in the bible. At the end of the lecture Robert Bennett takes questions from the audience. Afterward is a brief critical review of the book "Slave Religion: the Invisible Institution in the Antebellum South" by an unidentified man. The book review is followed by review and questions from audience members such as James Cone.The Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library acknowledges the generous support of the National Endowment for Humanities - Humanities Collections and Reference Resources Implementation Project Grant in supporting the processing and digitization of a number of its major archival collections as part of the project: Spreading the Word: Expanding Access to African American Religious Archival Collections at the Atlanta University Center Robert W.

Genetic Drift in Genetic Algorithm Selection Schemes
No full textA method for calculating genetic drift in terms of changing population fitness variance is presented. The method allows for an easy comparison of different selection schemes and exact analytical results are derived for traditional generational selection, steady-state selection with varying generation gap, a simple model of Eshelman's CHC algorithm, and evolution strategies. The effects of changing genetic drift on the convergence of a GA are demonstrated empirically
Learning the large-scale structure of the max-sat landscape using populations
No full textA new algorithm for solving MAX-SAT problems is introduced which clusters good solutions, and restarts the search from the closest feasible solution to the centroid of each cluster. This is shown to be highly efficient for finding good solutions of large MAX-SAT problems. We argue that this success is due to the population learning the large-scale structure of the fitness landscape. Systematic studies of the landscape are presented to support this hypothesis. In addition, a number of other strategies are tested to rule out other possible explanations of the success. Preliminary results are shown indicating that extensions of the proposed algorithm can give similar improvements on other hard optimisation problems
