Using adaptive operators in genetic search

Abstract

In this paper, we provided an extension of our previous work on adaptive genetic algorithm [1]. Each individual encodes the probability (rate) of its genetic operators. In every generation, each individual is modified by only one operator. This operator is selected according to its encoded rates. The rates are updated according to the performance achieved by the offspring (compared to its parents) and a random learning rate. The proposed approach is augmented with a simple transposition operator and tested on a number of benchmark functions. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
