A Genetic Algorithm Framework in pyThon
GAFT is a general Python Framework for genetic algorithm computation. It provides built-in genetic operators for target optimization and plugin interfaces for users to define your own genetic operators and on-the-fly analysis for algorithm testing.
GAFT is now accelerated using MPI parallelization interfaces. You can run it on your cluster in parallel with MPI environment.
GAFT requires Python version 3.x (Python 2.x is not supported).
Via pip:
pip install gaft
From source:
python setup.py install
If you want GAFT to run in MPI env, please install mpi4py explicitly:
pip install mpi4py
See INSTALL.md for more installation details.
Run unit test:
python setup.py test
from gaft import GAEngine from gaft.components import BinaryIndividual, Population from gaft.operators import RouletteWheelSelection, UniformCrossover, FlipBitMutation # Analysis plugin base class. from gaft.plugin_interfaces.analysis import OnTheFlyAnalysis
indv_template = BinaryIndividual(ranges=[(0, 10)], eps=0.001) population = Population(indv_template=indv_template, size=50) population.init() # Initialize population with individuals.
# Use built-in operators here. selection = RouletteWheelSelection() crossover = UniformCrossover(pc=0.8, pe=0.5) mutation = FlipBitMutation(pm=0.1)
engine = GAEngine(population=population, selection=selection, crossover=crossover, mutation=mutation, analysis=[FitnessStore])
@engine.fitness_register def fitness(indv): x, = indv.solution return x + 10*sin(5*x) + 7*cos(4*x)
or if you want to minimize it, you can add a minimization decorator on it
@engine.fitness_register @engine.minimize def fitness(indv): x, = indv.solution return x + 10*sin(5*x) + 7*cos(4*x)
@engine.analysis_register class ConsoleOutput(OnTheFlyAnalysis): master_only = True interval = 1 def register_step(self, g, population, engine): best_indv = population.best_indv(engine.fitness) msg = 'Generation: {}, best fitness: {:.3f}'.format(g, engine.fmax) engine.logger.info(msg)
if '__main__' == __name__: engine.run(ng=100)
See example 01 for a one-dimension search for the global maximum of function f(x) = x + 10sin(5x) + 7cos(4x)
See example 02 for a two-dimension search for the global maximum of function f(x, y) = y*sin(2*pi*x) + x*cos(2*pi*y)
You can define your own genetic operators for GAFT and run your algorithm test.
The plugin interfaces are defined in /gaft/plugin_interfaces/, you can extend the interface class and define your own analysis class or genetic operator class. The built-in operators and built-in on-the-fly analysis can be treated as an official example for plugins development.
