Eyal Wirsansky

Eyal Wirsansky is a senior data scientist, an experienced software engineer, a technology community leader, and an artificial intelligence researcher. Eyal began his software engineering career over twenty-five years ago as a pioneer in the field of Voice over IP. He currently works as a member of the data platform team at Gradle, Inc. During his graduate studies, he focused his research on genetic algorithms and neural networks. A notable result of this research is a novel supervised machine learning algorithm that integrates both approaches. In addition to his professional roles, Eyal serves as an adjunct professor at Jacksonville University, where he teaches a class on artificial intelligence. He also leads both the Jacksonville, Florida Java User Group and the Artificial Intelligence for Enterprise virtual user group, and authors the developer-focused artificial intelligence blog, ai4java.

Experimenting with the algorithm's settings

We can now experiment with the various settings and definitions we placed into the program and observe the changes in the behavior and the results.

In each of the following subsections, we start from the original program settings and make one or more changes. You are encouraged to experiment with making your own modifications, as well as combining several modifications to the same program.

Bear in mind that the effects of changes we make may be specific to the problem at hand, a simple OneMax in our case, and may be different for other types of problems.

Population size and number of generations

We will start our experimentation by making modifications to the population size...
