Each student will work on an assignment. The assignment consists of:
report in English (preferred) or Czech: 20 points (min 10 points), guidelines for writing the report are listed below
implementation (any programming language is possible): 10 points,
Use exclusively the following templates for writing your report:
Use Upload system to submit the assignment.
Deadline for the program implementation is May 19, 11:00 am.
Deadline for the report submission is May 26, 11:00 am.
Guidelines for writing the report
General:
Only the templates provided must be used. A report not using the template will not be accepted.
Pay attention to the clarity of the text so that it is properly structured and formatted.
Do not be unduly concise. Make sure that there is all information necessary to understand the text, especially the description of the proposed algorithms.
Report must start with a title specifying the solved problem and Author’s name.
Use references to tables, figures, literature.
As a technical report it must contain a list of References (the number of referred items is not important) at the end.
Description of the algorithm has to cover:
Description of a genetic representation of the solution
Definition of the fitness
Description of genetic operators, selection, construction heuristics, local optimization heuristics
Description of the evolutionary model, i.e., the process through which a new population is generated from the current one
For neural networks you have to cover:
Description of ANN topologies and neuron types used
Description of a learning algorithm (if you use a well-know algorithm a short description will suffice)
Description of inputs/outputs
Description of error measure (for supervised tasks)
Description of conducted experiments has to include:
Setting of the control parameters of compared algorithms
Number of runs conducted for each experiment
Definition of observed performance criteria (average best, mean best, standard deviation, …)
Presentation of the achieved results (in the form of tables and graphs)
Discussion of the observed algorithm performance
Graphs should
