Extending the Scalability of Linkage Learning Genetic Algorithms: Theory and Practice

Abstract

dc:description

The study finds that using promoters on the chromosome can improve nucleation potential and promote correct building-block formation. It also observes that the linkage learning genetic algorithm has a consistent, sequential behavior instead of different behaviors on different problems as was previously believed. Moreover, the competition among building blocks of equal salience is the main cause of the exponential growth of convergence time. Finally, adopting subchromosome representations can reduce the competition among building blocks, and therefore, scalable genetic linkage learning for a unimetric approach is possible.
