I am forwarding this here in case someone with better knowledge of genetic algorithms picks it up.

First, can I forward this to the Flink user mailing list? Perhaps someone over there has a better answer. Yes, of course. Can you describe very briefly how fitness evaluation is computed in your algorithm? My fitness evaluation is basically an evaluation of accuracy in a classification problem, so i must read every line of file(in which is present some attribute and a class) and verify if my classification work well. So in each iteration of a genetic algorithm i change some chromosome and than evaluate the solution. At the moment the entire program is written in C++ but I would take it in java using jMetal Best regards, Andrea Il giorno 13/nov/2014, alle ore 16:25, Kostas Tzoumas <[email protected]> ha scritto: Hey, First, can I forward this to the Flink user mailing list?
