9.9: Genetic Algorithm: Interactive Selection - The Nature of Code

[@exodproduction]

MAN, YOU ARE AWESOME! yes, i am shouthing. but because I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY!!! DID I SAY THAT YOU ARE AWESOME??? YOU ARE!!!! just thank you for sharing a lot of your tutorial, explanation and everything. YOU ARE AWESOOMMMMEEEEEEEEE!!!!! p.s. you are awesome.

[@TheCodingTrain]

thank you, so nice to hear!

[@jmebia7765]

Interactive selection would probably be great when applying genetic algorithms in game development. I'm currently having my college thesis in computer science and this series is a LOT of help. Thanks!

[@TheCodingTrain]

Awesome, glad to hear!

[@TheTanmaybishnoi]

Mr Daniel, never ever stop inspiring!

[@TheCodingTrain]

Thanks for watching!

[@wouter11234]

I have one question for you: What keeps you motivated to make these kinds of videos?

[@jonathonbreitner1334]

I love your channel! don't stop being you!

[@PixelOutlaw]

I'd like to see imperative style Lisps used once more for graphics programming. Looks like the original was written in an extension of Common Lisp they called *Lisp. Another great video by the way!

[@TheCodingTrain]

Thanks! Indeed, that would be interesting!

[@nevokrien95]

for the exmple u gave at the start rl looks much better sens it can keep track of what works and change the picture evry frame u can than run an evolutionary algorithm on that deep rl

[@SaintPepsiSanCoca]

It would be interesting to see if an array of 100 x 100 pixels with random colours could be evolved into what the user might experience as "cute" or "angry" and see what the end result gives after a couple of generations

[@TheCodingTrain]

Interesting idea!

[@SaintPepsiSanCoca]

I actually started realising this idea, but I can't get very far, after a couple of generations the thing just turns into randomness. I tried doing black and white but that didn't work out as well as i thought it would. What could be a way to improve the fitness function or maybe the mutation so that it does have more efficient pattern fiding?

[@ryanprov]

I'm just learning about this stuff, so I'm no expert, but I have an idea for you. I really love your idea, but I could see how using this basic GA method doesn't really work for this application -- the problem is that it's hard for the model to "understand" that things that are close to each other in the image are related.. you're basically evolving the "cutest pixel" or whatever for each pixel location independently, which isn't really what you want. You should look into convolution neural networks (CNNs). They are significantly more complicated than the stuff covered here, but they are good at recognizing features in images. I think it will work a lot better for this idea. Good luck!

[@SaintPepsiSanCoca]

wow thanks alot Real!

[@nevokrien95]

u can use a learning encoder which was traind on the type of data u want and then just tweek the input to get the output u want

[@peterpires]

Great videos. Thanks!

[@nagesh007]

Awesome

[@JayTheYggdrasil]

Im doing it with fractals generated using iterated function systems

[@stefan1397]

I hope you know that those videos are listed under your GA playlist altough they are marked as unlisted.. #BugOrFeature

[@TheCodingTrain]

Feature! I have many videos ready and uploaded but release them to "public" once per day. I'm happy if people who are looking find them through the playlists ahead of time.

[@asdasddas100]

Do you have an identical twin who does c#? That would be nice :p

[@TheShadesOfBlack]

I want to input this stuff into a game on Unity and it's gonna be a LOT of work,

[@omairsalah7838]

A golden nugget

[@aswath_k]

Is interactive selection in GA and reinforcement learning are the same?

[@TheCodingTrain]

Not exactly, but a lot of similar concepts, I will cover more about GA + neural networks soon!

[@cozypreneur]

man made Bored Ape Nfts years before the hype haha

[@jhonbrixbrion8030]

Is this still Genetic Algorithm? or is it Interactive Genetic Algorithm? Can I use this to Generate Content like a UI Component Generator for a website builder project?

[@konradzinner2255]

I did a p5.js version of this Face selection but my head get's white after the first click and after time everything is white... :(

[@fpmutwira]

i cant find a link to the java version of your GA, can you provide a link

[@TheCodingTrain]

Take a look here: github.com/shiffman/The-Nature-of-Code-Examples/tree/master/chp09_ga

[@peterheijstek6808]

20k subs!

[@TheCodingTrain]

Can hardly believe it!

[@LorenzoLeonardini]

this can be also used for ads, can't it?

[@TheCodingTrain]

I think so!

[@Fledron]

this actually IS USED for ads.

[@zhonghuahe3556]

@@Fledron can you provide an example please?

[@MrLebo124]

Nice video. Inspirered by this topic(saw it before in the Kadenze course) i made a p5.js program to make nice flowers (i am Dutch so we make our own flowers). github.com/Lebo124/Flowersystem At the moment i am trying translating this program in Processing and maybe make an Android app of it.

[@TheCodingTrain]

oh awesome! thanks for sharing.

One day i m gonna surpass u !!
