MGO
===
MGO is a purely functionnal scala library based for evolutionary / genetic algorithms:
* enforcing immutability,
* exposes a modular and extensible architecture,
* implements state of the art algorithms,
* handles noisy (stochastic) fitness functions,
* implements auto-adaptatative algortihms.
MGO implements NGSAII, CP (Calibration Profile), PSE (Pattern Search Experiment).
Licence
-------
MGO is licenced under the GNU GPLv3 software licence.
Example
-------
Define a problem, for instance the multi-modal multi-objective ZDT4 benchmark:
```scala
object zdt4 {
def scale(s: Vector[Double]): Vector[Double] = s.map(_.scale(0.0, 5.0))
def compute(genome: Vector[Double]): Vector[Double] = {
val genomeSize = genome.size
def g(x: Seq[Double]) =
1 + 10 * (genomeSize - 1) +
x.map { i => pow(i, 2) - 10 * cos(4 * Pi * i) }.sum
def f(x: Seq[Double]) = {
val gx = g(x)
gx * (1 - sqrt(genome(0) / gx))
}
val scaled = scale(genome)
Vector(scaled(0), f(scaled.tail))
}
}
```
Define the optimisation algorithm, for instance NSGAII:
```scala
val nsga2 =
NSGA2(
mu = 100,
lambda = 100,
fitness = zdt4.compute,
genomeSize = 10)
```
Run the optimisation:
```scala
val (finalState, finalPopulation) =
run(nsga2).
until(afterGeneration(1000)).
trace((state, population) => println(state.generation)).
eval(new util.Random(42))
println(result(finalPopulation, zdt4.scale).mkString("\n"))
```
Noisy fitness functions
-----------------------
All algorithm in MGO have version to compute on noisy fitness function. MGO handle noisy fitness functions by resampling
only the most promising individuals. It uses an aggregation function to aggregate the multiple sample when needed.
For instance a version of NSGA2 for noisy fitness functions may be used has follow:
```scala
import mgo._
import algorithm.noisynsga2._
import context.implicits._
object sphere {
def scale(s: Vector[Double]): Vector[Double] = s.map(_.scale(-2, 2))
def compute(i: Vector[Double]): Double = i.map(x => x * x).sum
}
object noisySphere {
def scale(s: Vector[Double]): Vector[Double] = sphere.scale(s)
def compute(rng: util.Random, v: Vector[Double]) =
sphere.compute(v) + rng.nextGaussian() * 0.5 * math.sqrt(sphere.compute(v))
}
def aggregation(history: Vector[Vector[Double]]) = history.transpose.map { o => o.sum / o.size }
val nsga2 =
NoisyNSGA2(
mu = 100,
lambda = 100,
fitness = (rng, v) => Vector(noisySphere.compute(rng, v)),
aggregation = aggregation,
genomeSize = 2)
val (finalState, finalPopulation) =
run(nsga2).
until(afterGeneration(1000)).
trace((s, is) => println(s.generation)).
eval(new util.Random(42))
println(result(finalPopulation, aggregation, noisySphere.scale).mkString("\n"))
```
Diversity only
--------------
MGO proposes the PSE alorithm that aim a creating diverse solution instead of optimsing a function. The paper about this
algorithm can be found [here](http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0138212).
```scala
import mgo._
import algorithm.pse._
import context.implicits._
val pse = PSE(
lambda = 10,
phenotype = zdt4.compute,
pattern =
boundedGrid(
lowBound = Vector(0.0, 0.0),
highBound = Vector(1.0, 200.0),
definition = Vector(10, 10)),
genomeSize = 10)
val (finalState, finalPopulation) =
run(pse).
until(afterGeneration(1000)).
trace((s, is) => println(s.generation)).
eval(new util.Random(42))
println(result(finalPopulation, zdt4.scale).mkString("\n"))
```
This program explores all the different combination of values that can be produced by the multi-objective function of ZDT4.
For more examples, have a look at the main/scala/fr/iscpif/mgo/test directory in the repository.
Mixed optimisation and diversity
--------------------------------
The calibration profile algorthim compute the best fitness function for a set of niches. This algorithm is explained [here](http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/18/1/12.html).
In MGO you can compute profiles of a 10 dimensional hyper-sphere function using the following:
```scala
import algorithm.profile._
import context.implicits._
//Profile the first dimension of the genome
val algo = Profile(
lambda = 100,
fitness = sphere.compute,
niche = genomeProfile(x = 0, nX = 10),
genomeSize = 10)
val (finalState, finalPopulation) =
run(algo).
until(afterGeneration(1000)).
trace((s, is) => println(s.generation)).
eval(new util.Random(42))
println(result(finalPopulation, sphere.scale).mkString("\n"))
```
Noisy profiles
--------------
All algorithms in MGO have a pendant for noisy fitness function. Here is an example of a profile computation for a sphere
function with noise.
```scala
import algorithm.noisyprofile._
import context.implicits._
def aggregation(history: Vector[Double]) = history.sum / history.size
def niche = genomeProfile(x = 0, nX = 10)
val algo = NoisyProfile(
muByNiche = 20,
lambda = 100,
fitness = noisySphere.compute,
aggregation = aggregation,
niche = niche,
genomeSize = 5)
val (finalState, finalPopulation) =
run(algo).
until(afterGeneration(1000)).
trace((s, is) => println(s.generation)).
eval(new util.Random(42))
println(result(finalPopulation, aggregation, noisySphere.scale, niche).mkString("\n"))
```
Distributed computing
---------------------
Algorithms implemented in MGO are also avialiable in the workflow plateform for distributed computing [OpenMOLE](http://openmole.org).
SBT dependency
----------------
```scala
resolvers += Resolver.sonatypeRepo("public")
resolvers += Resolver.bintrayRepo("projectseptemberinc", "maven")
libraryDependencies += "fr.iscpif" %% "mgo" % "2.3"
```
