Learning Python, DEAP and Genetic algorithms

[Lou Foss]

Hello!   I am taking an AI class and I am having difficulty understanding where to start using DEAP to solve a particular problem.  I have been through the tutorial and I have a general DEAP framework setup in my python program to perform the minimization required for this problem.

I'm lost in the math and I am having difficulty understanding where to start, or how to break down this problem into smaller functions.

Any help would be appreciated.

DEAP will optimize the parameters of a given objective function. I haven't read your assignment, but you should:

1- Start by transforming the parameters of your objective function into a vector as in the onemax or tsp example.

2- Then in the evaluation function you will receive one by one the vectors and compute their cost. Return the cost(s) and it (they) will be associated with the given vectors.

3- Let the EA do its magic.

4- Retrieve the best vector (individual in a hall of fame).

I hope it helps

Best regards,

François-Michel
