A Simple Haploid-Diploid Evolutionary Algorithm (1903.11598v1)
Published 27 Mar 2019 in cs.NE
Abstract: It has recently been suggested that evolution exploits a form of fitness landscape smoothing within eukaryotic sex due to the haploid-diploid cycle. This short paper presents a simple modification to the standard evolutionary computing algorithm to similarly benefit from the process. Using the well-known NK model of fitness landscapes it is shown that the benefit emerges as ruggedness is increased.
