Abstract
We analyze the performance of a Genetic Type Algorithm we call Culling and a variety of other algorithms on a problem we refer to as ASP. Culling is near optimal for this problem, highly noise tolerant, and the best known a~~roach . . in some regimes. We show that the problem of learning the Ising perception is reducible to noisy ASP. These results provide an example of a rigorous analysis of GA’s and give insight into when and how C,A’s can beat competing methods. To analyze the genetic algorithm, we view it as a special type of submartingale. We prove some new large deviation bounds on this submartingale w~ich enable us to determine the running time of the algorithm.

Empirical Modelling of Genetic Algorithms

TL;DR: This paper addresses the problem of reliably setting genetic algorithm parameters for consistent labelling problems by proposing a robust empirical framework, based on the analysis of factorial experiments, which are shown to be robust under extrapolation to up to triple the problem size.

A comprehensive review of quadratic assignment problem: variants, hybrids and applications

TL;DR: QAP is NP-hard problem that is impossible to be solved in polynomial time when the problem size increases, hence heuristic and metaheuristic approaches are utilized for solving the problem instead of exact approaches because these approaches achieve quality in the solution in short computation time.
