Haploid-Diploid Evolution: Nature's Memetic Algorithm
This paper uses a recent explanation for the fundamental haploid-diploid
lifecycle of eukaryotic organisms to present a new memetic algorithm that
differs from all previous known work using diploid representations. A form of
the Baldwin effect has been identified as inherent to the evolutionary
mechanisms of eukaryotes and a simplified version is presented here which
maintains such behaviour. Using a well-known abstract tuneable model, it is
shown that varying fitness landscape ruggedness varies the benefit of
haploid-diploid algorithms. Moreover, the methodology is applied to optimise
the targeted delivery of a therapeutic compound utilizing nano-particles to
cancerous tumour cells with the multicellular simulator PhysiCell.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1903.1159
