Using Genetic Programing to Create Smart Ants, 2003, Unpublished manuscript.
Abstract
This research implements a genetic program to solve the Santa Fe Trail problem. In order to understand the effectiveness of various parameters, the population size, the mutation rate, and the crossover type were varied. In general, it appears that larger populations sizes and higher mutation rates were effective. The effects of crossover were less clear. In general the genetic program solved the problem well. In fact, some of the algorithms created by the genetic program were better than the author was able to create by hand.
