Another way of looking at fitness functions is in terms of a Fitness Landscape , which shows the fitness for each possible chromosome. An ideal fitness function correlates closely with the algorithm's goal, and yet may be computed quickly. Speed of execution is very important, as a typical genetic algorithm must be iterated many, many times in order to produce a usable result for a non-trivial problem. Definition of the fitness function is not straightforward in many cases and often is performed iteratively if the fittest solutions produced by GA are not what is desired. In some cases, it is very hard or impossible to come up even with a guess of what fitness function definition might be. Interactive Genetic Algorithms address this difficulty by outsourcing evaluation to external agents (normally humans). |
