# it3708 - bio-inspired artificial intelligence
## assignment 1
this project is written in [odin](https://odin-lang.org/) and [uiua](https://www.uiua.org/) ([uiua-plot](https://github.com/Omnikar/uiua-plot)) with [nix](https://nixos.org/) for dependency management.
with nix installed, just run
```
$ nix run
```
and it will run through the pipeline. it will generate data/image files in `output/`.
### implementation overview
i implement a genetic algorithm to solve the binary knapsack problem.
this is done by
- first generating a population of individuals/chromosomes, modeled as bit_arrays for memory performance.
- then continue for some fixed amount of generations
- calculate the fitness of each chromosome in the population by calculating the distance to the capacity. to avoid negative fitness values, chromosomes that overshoot the capacity are penalized.
- create offspring by
- selecting two parents using a tournament selection
- then performing single point crossover between the parents to create two children
- then mutate each child with random bit-flip mutations.
- create a new population via elitism survivor selection
- repeat
each generation, the fitness value maximum, minimum and mean values are logged in `output/data.csv`.
this data is read through uiua `src/plot.ua` to plot the data to `output/plot.png`.
