Genetic algorithm

presently there is no polynomial solution available. In this paper we try to solve this very hard problem using various heuristics such as Simulated Annealing, Genetic Algorithm to find a near optimal solution as fast as possible. We try to escape the local optimum, using these advanced heuristic techniques. Keywords - Genetic Algorithm; Simulated Annealing; heuristic; 1. Introduction Travelling salesman problem can be formulated as “For given list of nodes determine the shortest tour…

I became interested with an Information Security Analyst because my father is one. Every take your child to work day I would wake up early with my dad and run to his car excited to go to his office for the day. The building is a plain, brown brick building, but every time I saw it, I instantly got excited. Walking into the office everyone knew my name, I would always wave at everyone I saw. The secretary always gave me a lollipop and called me her “Little bundle of sunlight”. I would then go…

their accent is the normal, and a person with a Boston accent does not think they have one. Clive Thompson’s article “He and She; What’s the Real Difference?” explains an experiment that created an algorithm that is able to identify whether a piece of text was written by a male or female. The algorithm is surprisingly very accurate, and is more often correct than incorrect; furthermore, it uses keywords to be able to identify the gender. Paul Roberts’ article “Speech Communities” is an in depth…

The ability to understand programming and all of its algorithms will grant anybody the power to keep up with technology. This is why elementary schools need computer science classes integrated into their curriculum. Teaching young children how to program will evolve the world in new ways by allowing these individuals to create new applications and technology. Since there are not any computer science related courses offered in elementary schools, they are restricted from the opportunity to learn…

In the article, “Grace Murray Hopper – Programming Pioneer”, author V. Rajaraman summarizes the life and accomplishments of Grace Murray Hopper, a woman who is credited for several major computer and technology developments. Rajaraman goes into extensive detail about Hopper’s early life, such as how Hopper focused heavily on her education in order to receive a PhD in Mathematics at Yale University which soon lead her to become a math professor at Vassar College. Rajaraman also mentions how…

Statement of Purpose “How do we ask the turtle to trace out a circle? Remember, it only knows how to walk in straight lines and turn around.” Playing with the Logo turtle on screen in sixth grade was my first exposure to computer science. I was immediately fascinated by the idea of approximating a smooth circle with a regular polygon of, say, 360 sides. Staring at the “circle” on screen, I could not quite digest the fact that it was something produced in a fundamentally different way compared to…

Shirley Jackson’s symbolism in The Lottery portrays manhood’s nature as meaningless due to a savage tradition. On literature, symbolism is important to understand foreshadowing and distinctions. In some cases, symbols can have a cultural significance and non-changing for the characters in the story. However, sometimes the meaning of the symbols is deeply hidden and understood as the story continues. Characters in literature are fundamental to understand the story being told by either a character…

One of the most important goals for me to do at this university is to graduate in four years with minimal student debt. In order to do that, I need to make sure that I take classes that will help me graduate while at the same time have enough skills to get a good job. The best way to do this is to make a plan to use the resources at their fullest. My plans to succeed are on how to graduate with all of my required courses, how to make use of co-curricular activities to increase my competitiveness…

never participated in that program. Afterward, I worked as Algorithm optimizer and back-end developer in some companies(listed in my CV). In one of the companies, my responsibility was to optimize their current algorithms. The company was a hardware firewall provider. Upon my investigations, I came to the understanding that their parallelization was not effective at all. In a standard test of their performance, before I provide my algorithm, they could process six million packets per second…

on the world. By utilizing the principles of psychology I’ll be able to create AI capable of mimicking human-level intelligence, learning, and memory. Additionally, the principles of psychology will help in the creation of AI capable of devising algorithms to best appropriate natural resources, create better forms of government, and increase the quality of life for the people of the world. Thus bringing the dream of an ideal society to reality. In conclusion, by studying psychology I have gained…
