Segmented Crossover Operator #164

Open thomashopkins32 opened 3 years ago

thomashopkins32 commented 3 years ago

Now that ops.uniform_crossover requires the use of np.array for the genome (for efficiency purposes) I was thinking we could add a segmented crossover that acts as it used to for list based segmented genomes.

Picking this up as we now have some users that could benefit from this functionality.

In the use case, there is actually a hierarchical genome (lists of lists of lists). So I'm thinking we could offer a general "segmented crossover" operator that allows us to adjust the level of granularity that crossover occurs at. The highest (and default) level would be to swap top-level segments. The lower level would do sub-segments, etc.
