"All" evolutionary algorithms are basically a local search with smart heuristics. Where a local search is a brute-force where you move in small directions based on feedback on where you are in the solution space.
- fenomas 10y agoI understand how the algorithms work. What I'm suggesting is that the demo seems to behave like a hill-climbing algorithm that's been unleashed on a terrain that's flat everywhere except the solution.
- maaaats 10y agoAh, I see what you mean now. Yeah, the problem space seems a bit simple. I never see any "learning" before it suddenly achieves perfect play.
- raverbashing 10y agoNot really, if you add new individuals from random then you're doing some global search (or just have a higher mutation rate - but that has some problems)
