Bit-selection for string-based genetic algorithms

摘要

Selecting bits in a string-based genetic algorithm is provided. A type of genetic operation to perform is determined. Responsive to a determination to perform a crossover operation, an input comprising a pair of strings is received. The strings in the pair of strings are compared to identify a set of non-matching points. A set of points from the set of non-matching points is randomly selected, forming a set of randomly selected non-matching points. A new string for the pair of strings is generated using the set of randomly selected non-matching points.
