Haploid-Diploid Evolution: Nature's Memetic Algorithm
This paper uses a recent explanation for the fundamental haploid-diploid lifecycle of eukaryotic organisms to present a new memetic algorithm that differs from all previous known work using diploid representations. A form of the Baldwin effect has been identified as inherent to the evolutionary mechanisms of eukaryotes and a simplified version is presented here which maintains such behaviour. Using a well-known abstract tuneable model, it is shown that varying fitness landscape ruggedness varies the benefit of haploid-diploid algorithms. Moreover, the methodology is applied to optimise the targeted delivery of a therapeutic compound utilizing nano-particles to cancerous tumour cells with the multicellular simulator PhysiCell.
