Re: Genetic algorithm to find the strongest AI decks
Posted: 16 Aug 2018, 12:21
The main issue with that youtube video as far as I can see is that each generation would take such a long time to run (especially given it is rendering the UI as it goes) that to get meaningful results in the search space he is working in would take years if not longer. I tried to constrain the search space using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation based deck generation tools trained on human generated deck data to help increase the quality of the population and reduce the number of iterations required to get interesting results. Running the algorithm for longer would be interesting, but for my purposes the decks generated were "good enough". I hope to find some time to rerun this again soon once I have updated the LDA deck generation tools with a more mature post-M19 dataset.
