Abstract

User fatigue problem in traditional interactive genetic algorithms restricts its population size. It is necessary to maintain a large population size to optimize complicated problems. We present a large population size interactive genetic algorithm with individuals' fitness not assigned by user in this paper. The algorithm divides the population into several clusters, and the maximum number of clusters is changeable with the evolution and distribution of the population. The user only evaluates a center individual in each cluster and others' fitness is estimated based on these ones. In addition, to assign a center individual's fitness, we record the time when the user evaluates it satisfactory or unsatisfactory according to his/her sensitiveness, and its fitness is automatically calculated based on the time. Finally, we apply the proposed algorithm to the one-max problem, and compare it with traditional interactive genetic algorithms. The experimental results validate its efficiency.
