I am a Computational Intelligence fanatic. This code serves as simple, single threaded code examples for 3 different CI paradigms. Also included is a tiny sinatra web app to demonstrate how one can expose the training and usage of a neural network in diagnosing cancer.
The problem of diagnosing cancer is actually a very simple problem for CI to solve, yet it's impact can be large. It really is just up to what kind of data we have access to, that will determine our creativity in the problems we can solve with CI.
The three CI paradigms are:
- Evolutionary Computation via the Genetic Algorithm (
lib/algo/ga.rb
) - Run
bundle exec ruby bin/ga
as an executable example - Swarm Intelligence via the Particle Swarm Optimizer (
lib/algo/pso.rb
) - Run
bundle exec ruby bin/pso
as an executable example - Artificial Neural Networks via the NN PSO problem (
lib/sims/problems/
) - Run
bundle exec ruby bin/nn_pso
as an executable example - Run
bundle exec ruby bin/sinatra && open 'http://localhost:4567'
as a web service example
- Dependencies: install these if you don't have them
- Ruby 2.1.2 (I use rbenv to manage this)
- Bundler & Rubygems
Follow these to download and install everything you need to run the algorithms:
- Installation
- Clone the repo (
git clone https://github.com/sighmin/diagnosing-cancer-with-ai
) - Change directory (
cd diagnosing-cancer-with-ai
) - Install dependencies (
bundle install
) - Run one of the examples (
bundle exec ruby bin/pso
, for instance) - Explore the code
bin/ # executable examples (with with $ bundle exec ruby <example>)
data/ # datasets (only breast-cancer.csv is used in the examples)
lib/
intelligence/
math/ # math related code
algo/ # algorithm classes & their iteration methods
sims/ # simulator & problem classes bring it together
ec/ # evolutionary specific code
si/ # swarm specific code
nn/ # neural networks
spec/ # rspec integration/unit tests for most of the code base
This project was intended to be clean examples of 3 different CI paradigms, and as such, is not intended to be 'used', but rather serve as readable examples of the algorithms/models in Ruby.
Please suggest how I can improve my code, I love suggestions.
