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.
