problem with evolutionary algorithms degrading into simulated annealing: mutation too small?
- by Schnalle
i have a problem understanding evolutionary algorithms. i tried using this technique several times, but i always ran into the same problem: degeneration into simulated annealing.
lets say my initial population, with fitness in brackets, is:
A (7), B (9), C (14), D (19)
after mating and mutation i have following children:
AB (8.3), AC (12.2), AD…
