Simple library for playing with genetic algorithms

Install

pip install genes

Use

from genes import *

To create initial population (randomly):

inital_population: Population = population_factory.create_population(POPULATION, LENGTH, PERCENTAGE)

where:

POPULATION - is a number of individuals

LENGTH - is a Genotype length

PERCENTAGE - each Genotype is randomly created, and consists a list of Gens (the length of which is determined by the LENGTH) - this factor allows to set percentage of chance to get "1" for a particular Gen.

Sample FitnessFunction:

class SimpleFitnessFunction(FitnessFunction):

    def fit(self, genotype: Genotype) -> float:
        n = 0
        for gen in genotype:
            if gen is True:
                n += 1
        return n

Having the initial population and fitness function defined, the Genetic Algorithm can be started:

genes_api = genes_api_from_params_factory(
    SimpleFitnessFunction(),
    GAFactoryParams(
        population=POPULATION,
        selection_limit=POPULATION // 2,
        children_per_pair=4,
        mutation_probability=0.2,
    )
)
gen = genes_api.calculate(inital_population, GENERATIONS)

where:

GENERATIONS - is how many generations we want to calculate

To print the last generated generation type (the first column is the fitness function result):

print(gen)

Dependencies required to play with plots:

import json
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib

Example:

p = pd.read_json(json.dumps(genes_api.stats.population_history_stats))
p.plot(figsize=(20,6))
