Talk:Effective fitness

Draft for updating the article
Problem solving with evolutionary computation is realized with a cost function.[7] If cost functions are applied to swarm optimization they are called a fitness function. Strategies like reinforcement learning[10] and NEAT neuroevolution[3] are creating a fitness landscape which describes the reproductive success of cellular automata.[1][5] A normal fitness function fits to a problem[9], while an effective fitness function is an assumption if the objective was reached.[8] The difference is important for designing fitness function with algorithm like novelty search in which the objective of the agents is unkown.[2] [6] — Preceding unsigned comment added by ManuelRodriguez (talk • contribs) 09:26, 9 March 2020 (UTC) --ManuelRodriguez (talk) 09:06, 26 March 2020 (UTC) updated --ManuelRodriguez (talk) 07:06, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Prose text
 * Notes
 * effective fitness is located in evolutionary computation [1]
 * Fitness = reproductive success [1]
 * Fitness landscapes is a set of fitness values connected configuration space [1]
 * is effective fitness a measurement for the entire fitness landscape? [1]
 * swarm e.g. Flocks of birds
 * "Effective fitness landscape" "Effective fitness function" “Effective fitness models”
 * evolutionary computation measures with a fitness function if the objective was reached [2] Problem is, if the : Objective functions is wrong
 * Fitness Function Design with NEAT [3] -> Evolutionary robotics
 * effective fitness landscape -> symmetry breaking [4]
 * effective fitness is a plot in a diagram to describe the fitness of cellular automata [5] it stays in contrast to static fitness
 * assumption: objective function is unknown, optimizing not for predefined goals but do a "novelty search" [6]
 * evolutionary computation designs effective fitness functions [7]
 * expected fitness function = Effective Fitness Function [8]
 * fitness function must fit to a problem [9]
 * Reinforcement Learning can search for the best (=effective) fitness function [10]
 * is "effective fitness function" = "cost function"?
 * additional notes
