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.

Performance analysis of evolution strategies with multi-recombination in high-dimensional R N -search spaces disturbed by noise

TL;DR: It is shown that, in contrast to results obtained in the limit of infinite search space dimensionality, there is a finite optimal population size above which the efficiency of the strategy declines, and that therefore it is not possible to attain the efficiency that can be achieved in the absence of noise by increasing the population size.

Genetic neuro-scheduler: A new approach for job shop scheduling

TL;DR: A hybrid approach between two new techniques, genetic algorithms and artificial neural network is described for generating job shop schedules in a discrete manufacturing environment based on nonlinear multiobjective function and results indicate that the proposed approach is consistently better than those of heuristic algorithms used extensively in industry.

A new "doctor and patient" optimization algorithm: An application to energy commitment problem

TL;DR: The authors present a new optimization algorithm named doctor and patient optimization (DPO), designed by simulating the process of treating patients by a physician, which is successfully applied to solve the energy commitment problem for a power system supplied by a multiple energy carriers system.
