Randomized Optimization Assignment - Giovanni Peralto

Code was written in Python 3.x. Python/pip is needed to run the program.

Instructions:

Install dependencies:

• pip install matplotlib
• pip install numpy
• pip install scikit-learn
• pip install pandas
• pip install mlrose
• pip install time
• pip install tqdm

Create images directories:

• mkdir images
• mkdir images/nn
• mkdir images/optimizatin-problems
• mkdir images/optimizatin-problems/4-peaks
• mkdir images/optimizatin-problems/10-queens
• mkdir images/optimizatin-problems/knapsack

Run instructions:

• Knapsack: python knapsack.py
• Four Peaks: python 4-peaks.py
• 10-Queens: python 10-queens.py
• Neural Networks: python nn.py (takes a ~30m)
  • GA learning curve takes longest, if you comment it out everything else should run in ~15m
