Evolutionary computation

Convergence (evolutionary computing)

Convergence within the field of computer science, is a phenomenon in evolutionary computation. It causes evolution to halt because precisely every individual in the population is identical. Full convergence might be seen in genetic algorithms (a type of evolutionary computation) using only crossover (a way of combining individuals to make new offspring). Premature convergence is when a population has converged to a single solution, but that solution is not as high of quality as expected, i.e. the population has gotten 'stuck'. However, convergence is not necessarily a negative thing, because populations often stabilise after a time, in the sense that the best programs all have a common ancestor and their behaviour is very similar (or identical) both to each other and to that of high fitness programs from the previous generations. Often the term convergence is loosely used. Convergence can be avoided with a variety of diversity-generating techniques. (Wikipedia).

Convergence!

Convergence: When ideas cross to produce something greater than the sum of it’s parts. We’re seeing this with fitness, travel, entertainment and the list goes on. Different ideas, different paths of research and development and different products are converging all around us. And where bet

Convergence and Divergence: The Return of Sequences and Series

We learned a little bit about sequences and series earlier in the mathematics course, but now its time to work with these some more, now that we understand calculus! First up, what does it mean for a sequence or series to be convergent or divergent, and how can we tell which one it is? Let

How do we make and compare phylogenetic trees

This video talks about the procedures we use to reconstruct (estimate) phylogenetic trees from data that we have available. The criteria of parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian probabilities are contrasted. Lastly, the using of bootstrapping to indicate degrees of confidence in tree
