Question 1.
What is a genetic algorithm?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how nature selects the best traits.
Question 2.
What does a fitness function do?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how it ranks potential solutions.
3Question 3.
What is a key feature of genetic algorithms?
- They guarantee optimal solutions
- They mimic natural selection
- They require no evaluation of solutions
Show hintHide hint
Consider how nature influences solution evolution.
4Question 4.
Mutation is used in genetic algorithms to:
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how changes can lead to new possibilities.
Question 5.
You are developing a genetic algorithm to optimize the placement of chips on a board. What factors must you consider in your fitness function?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what makes a placement effective.
Question 6.
Consider a scenario where your genetic algorithm is converging too quickly to a suboptimal solution. What strategies could you implement to maintain diversity?
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on ways to refresh your population of potential solutions.
