Grammatical Evolution Comes to Java

We recently ported the renowned grammatical evolution (GE) algorithm to Java. GE is a strong optimization and machine learning (ML) algorithm that was conceived, invented and developed in Bio-Developmental Systems Research Group at University of Limerick, Ireland. For ages, it existed…

A Genetic Algorithm for Image Reconstruction

We would cordially like to share here the source code of a genetic algorithm (GA). We developed this GA for image reconstruction. We recently reported our work about the evolution of Mona Lisa. We used this algorithm to achieve the…

Evolution of Mona Lisa With Pablo Picasso’s Paintings

In the past, we have also been involved with evolutionary design. In particular, we tried to do an experiment to recreate Mona Lisa using a handful of paintings of Pablo Picasso. We wanted to see how it all goes. Our…

Evolving Technical Trading Strategies Using Genetic Algorithms: A Case About Pakistan Stock Exchange

Last summer our team sat down together to come up with a strategy to predict stock market ups and downs. We employed genetic algorithms to predict stock price variations. In particular, our work was focused on Pakistan Stock Exchange. Our…

A Passion Revitalized

At OptimumT we contemplate on why agricultural systems of Pakistan are suffering dilapidation. Pakistan has been an agricultural country in a traditional sense. The agricultural heritage of Pakistan dates backs to millenniums. However, for one reason or the other, agriculture…

Deploying Renewables

The world is adopting renewable energy systems quite fast. Even in the regions where massive adoption of renewable energy systems in not underway, people and polities are contemplating about the possible ways in which it could be done. This recent…

Algorithms That Create Algorithms

Keeping in line with our fascination of technical ideas, we would like to share another of our research proposals. This one is titled, “Theory and Applications of Hyper-Heuristics.” What are hyper-heuristics? A comprehensive understanding of the ideas demands some familiarity…

A Technological Culture

If you spare some time to roam around in some area of Pakistan, you would find a widespread technical cornucopia in our society. You can find the latest models cars, mobile telephones, personal computers, handheld devices fairly easily. There is…
