Can HP-protein folding be solved with genetic algorithms? Maybe not (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jansen, R., Horn, R., van Eck, O., Version, K., Thomson, S. L., & van den Berg, D. (2023, November). Can HP-protein folding be solved with genetic algorithms? Maybe not. Presented at ECTA 2023 15th International Conference on Evolutionary Computation Theory and Applications, Rome, Italy

Genetic algorithms might not be able to solve the HP-protein folding problem because creating random individuals for an initial population is very hard, if not impossible. The reason for this, is that the expected number of constraint violations incr... Read More about Can HP-protein folding be solved with genetic algorithms? Maybe not.
