Pymetaheuristics

Combinatorial Optimization problems with quickly good soving.

Introduction

Pymetaheuristics is a package to help build and train Metaheuristics to solve real world problems mathematically modeled. It strives to generalize the overall idea of the technic and delivers to the user a friendly wrapper so the cientist may focus on the problem modeling rather than the heuristic implementation. This package is an open source project so feel free to send your implementations and fixes so they may be helpful for others too.

Subpackages

The idea is to implement all possible Metaheuristics found on the market today and some helper functions to improve what is already there. Note: This package is under construction, new features will come up soon.

What Metaheuristics can be found on this project?

1. Genetic Algorithm

How to use

First install the package (available on pypi)

$ pip install pymetaheuristics

Import the algorithm model you want to use to solve you problem. Implement the needed functions and pass to the model. Train and get the results.

from pymetaheuristics.genetic_algorithm.model import GeneticAlgorithm

model = GeneticAlgorithm(
    fitness_function=fitness_function,
    genome_generator=genome_generator
)

result = model.train(
    epochs=15, pop_size=10, crossover=pmx_single_point, verbose=True)

Every module has its integration test, which I submit the model for testing with very know NP-Hard problems today (Knapsack, tsp, ...). If you want to see how it goes, check out the integrations under the model testing folder.
