26 GA Considerations Closing Remarks Analyzing an experimental Run What do we want to know? Is the optimum reached? Convergence speed; Diversity; Robustness of the results; Hacking around; Claus Aranha (Department of Computer Science) July 24, / 29

27 Problem 3 Programming Assignment Programming Assignment Write a Genetic Algorithm to solve the following, modified version of the Knapsack Problem: The Menu Problem There is a menu with many items. Each item has a money cost (price) and a time cost (delay). You have a fixed amount of money (resource). Find a combination of items from the menu where the price fits your money as closely as possible. (For example, if you have 1500 yens, you have to find a menu combination that gets as close to 1500 yens as possible, without going over). If two combinations have the same price, you want to choose the combination with the lowest time. Claus Aranha (Department of Computer Science) July 24, / 29

28 Problem 3 Programming Assignment Programming Assignment Simple and Advanced versions Simple version: in the solution, each item in the menu can only be selected once. Advanced version: in the solution, each item in the menu can be used as many times as necessary. Grading: Besides writing a GA program that solves this problem, follow the following points: Write a clear, well commented program (specially if you use GA libraries); Write your results, with commentary about how you choose your operators, and how you achieved those results (what worked, what didn t work, etc). Claus Aranha (Department of Computer Science) July 24, / 29

29 Problem 3 Programming Assignment Programming Assignment Data Set The data will be in a file, with the following format. A few data sets for testing will be available in the course webpage. Feel free to make your own! <Total money you own - integer> <item 1 name>,<item 1 price>,<item 1 time> <item 2 name>,<item 2 price>,<item 2 time>... <item N name>,<item N price>,<item N time> <END OF FILE> Claus Aranha (Department of Computer Science) July 24, / 29
