Research

A Comparison of Different Selection Strategies on Simple Genetic Algorithms

       Research Advisor: Prof. Jun Zhang

Ÿ       Compare three different selection operators used in simple genetic algorithms: roulette wheel selection, tournament selection and linear ranking selection;

Ÿ       Adopt new and effective benchmarking methodology based on statistics;

Ÿ       The results show that SGA with tournament selection strategy has better performance than the other two in function optimization problem.

The Effect of Orthogonal-Optimization Crossover on Genetic Algorithms

Research Advisor: Prof. Jun Zhang

Ÿ       Introduce orthogonal optimization to the crossover operation in genetic algorithms;

Ÿ       Ensure that the offspring(s) succeeds the currently best genes from its parent(s);

Ÿ       The result of the experiment shows that the algorithm with improved operation is more efficient in solving some function optimization problems.

(The papers of the upper two research projects were submitted to Computer Engineering and Application, a kernel computer-science journal in China, but rejected due to “limited application value”.)

Intelligent User Interface Generation Based on Genetic Algorithms

Prospective Topic of Degree Thesis

Research Advisor: Prof. Jun Zhang

Ÿ       Model user action and interface elements, develop a cost of use function;

Ÿ       Use genetic algorithms to optimize the function;

Ÿ       Generate adaptive user interfaces.
