<p> <table width="98%" align="center" cellspacing="1" style="border:1px solid #486090;"> <tbody> <tr> <td cellpadding="3px" style="background-color:#486090; font-weidht:bold; color:white;">Quote:</td></tr> <tr> <td cellpadding="10px" style="background-color:#FFFFB0;"><table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Name</td> <td>Today's Update</td> <td>Plans for Tomorrow</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Alex M</td> <td> <p>Worked with Alex to run XF with smaller grid spacing. We're down to 0.001 cm, but below that we were getting long times on the XF GUI that made it seem like it was hanging. I also investigated XF from a Pitzer desktop to see how to use the progrid setting. I can get the scripts to load--I checked that the original one is indeed making a bicone and that Eliot and Leo's makes an asymmetric bicone.</p> <p>Helped Ryan some more with the paper clip. We're taking it step by step, so the next thing he'll want to do is make sure he can get the function for the roulette algorithm to be called correctly in the paperclip script and have the correct information passed to it (like the fitness scores).</p> </td> <td>I'm gonna continue investigating XF from the pitzer desktop to see how the progrid works. When Alex and I finish this generation of the loop, we'll try putting the progrid in an see what the results from XF are to compare it to the results frmo previous generations when we explicitly set the grid size.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Alex P</td> <td>Along with continuing runs of XF to find optimal grid spacing also looked through the HTML files in the XF directory to find the scripting documentation. Found where the PrOGrid options were along with the other features PrOGrid enables. Currently we have other variables that use our Grid Size as an input so we would have to find a way to replace those to work with what PrOGrid generates.</td> <td>Continue to check on status of grid size for our current runs and its affects, we might have found a cut off point so we can go back and find the optimal spacing for small sizes before swtiching to tests with large sizes. And possibly start experimenting with PrOGrid since we can compare the output it gives to an array of different grid spacings to see if it would need any tweeks.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Eliot</td> <td>Continued debugging the Loop to work with 2 chromosomes ie 5 parameters. Ran inside and outside the loop trying to find the error. Finally, we placed a number of flags throughout and determined the error to be within the GA. It is inside the roulette function. We will edit this tomorrow. </td> <td>Edited the roulette selection as needed. There is also an error in tournament, but for now we turned it off and are focused on testing the updated roulette. </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Leo</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Evelyn</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Ryan</td> <td>Debugged the Roulette algorithm and have it running. But, I need to check the Gaussians against the paperclips tournament to refine it and make sure I can get a fitness score for the paperclips. </td> <td>Get fitness scores for the paperclips and begin to compare to tournament.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </p><p> </p>
