Several years ago I used ga's to optimize asr (automatic speech recognition) grammars for better recognition rates. I started with fairly simple lists of choices (where the ga was testing combinations of possible terms for each slot) and worked my way up to more open and complex grammars. Fitness was determined by measuring separation between terms/sequences under a kind of phonetic distance function. I also experimented with making weakly equivalent variations on a grammar to find one that compiled to a more compact representation (in the end I went with a direct algorithm, and it drastically increased the size of the "language" that we could use in applications).

最近，我将它们用作默认假设，以此来测试由各种算法生成的解决方案的质量。这主要涉及分类和不同类型的拟合问题(即创建一个“规则”，解释审查员对数据集所做的一组选择)。

在大学期间，我们使用NERO(神经网络和遗传算法的结合)来教游戏中的机器人做出智能决策。非常酷。

我使用遗传算法(以及一些相关技术)来确定风险管理系统的最佳设置，该系统试图阻止淘金者使用偷来的信用卡来购买mmo游戏。该系统将接收数千笔具有“已知”值的交易(欺诈与否)，并找出最佳设置组合，以正确识别欺诈交易，而不会产生太多误报。

We had data on several dozen (boolean) characteristics of a transaction, each of which was given a value and totalled up. If the total was higher than a threshold, the transaction was fraud. The GA would create a large number of random sets of values, evaluate them against a corpus of known data, select the ones that scored the best (on both fraud detection and limiting the number of false positives), then cross breed the best few from each generation to produce a new generation of candidates. After a certain number of generations the best scoring set of values was deemed the winner.

创建用于测试的已知数据语料库是该系统的阿喀琉斯之踵。如果你等待退款，你在试图回应欺诈者时就会落后几个月，所以有人必须手动审查大量交易，以建立数据库，而不必等待太长时间。

这最终确定了绝大多数的欺诈行为，但在最容易欺诈的项目上，这一比例无法低于1%(考虑到90%的交易可能是欺诈，这已经相当不错了)。

我用perl完成了所有这些。在一个相当旧的linux机器上运行一次软件需要1-2个小时(20分钟通过WAN链路加载数据，其余时间用于处理)。任何给定代的大小都受到可用RAM的限制。我会一遍又一遍地运行它，稍微改变参数，寻找一个特别好的结果集。

总而言之，它避免了手动调整数十个欺诈指标的相对值所带来的一些失误，并且始终能够提出比我手动创建的更好的解决方案。AFAIK，它仍然在使用(大约3年后我写了它)。

除了一些常见的问题，如《旅行推销员》和Roger Alsing的《蒙娜丽莎》程序的变体，我还编写了一个进化数独求解器(这需要我自己更多的原创想法，而不仅仅是重新实现别人的想法)。解决数独游戏有更可靠的算法，但进化方法效果相当好。

在过去的几天里，在Reddit上看到这篇文章后，我一直在玩一个进化程序来寻找扑克的“冷牌”。目前还不太令人满意，但我想我可以改进。

我有自己的进化算法框架。

I used a simple genetic algorithm to optimize the signal to noise ratio of a wave that was represented as a binary string. By flipping the the bits certain ways over several million generations I was able to produce a transform that resulted in a higher signal to noise ratio of that wave. The algorithm could have also been "Simulated Annealing" but was not used in this case. At their core, genetic algorithms are simple, and this was about as simple of a use case that I have seen, so I didn't use a framework for generation creation and selection - only a random seed and the Signal-to-Noise Ratio function at hand.

在我的本科论文中，我使用遗传编程来开发用于空中搜索和救援的合作搜索策略。我使用一个名为NetLogo(基于StarLogo)的开源代理建模平台作为世界模型。NetLogo是用java写的，因此提供了java api -所以GP框架需要基于java -我使用的一个叫做JGAP，还有另一个开源GP框架在java中，我知道叫做ECJ。

模拟运行起来非常慢(我认为这是由于NetLogo模型)，所以我的功能/终端集非常有限，限制了搜索空间。尽管如此，我还是想出了一些很好的解决办法。如果你有这种冲动，你可以在我的论文http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~ekjo014/z3157867_Thesis.pdf的第三章读到
