Training

A sequence of moons is available for testing, fine tuning or "training" your algorithm. These moons are numbered 20_1 through to 20_2147483647.

To use the training moons, download the Client (see Quick Start under Documentation), then:

1. Login to the Huygens website (if you haven't already done so).

2. Create a client object for training (eg):

   Client client = new Client(myemail, "20_1");

3. Call the fitness method for each evalutation (eg):

   fitness = client.getFitness(x,y);
 

Note that while benchmarking runs are restricted to 1000 probes (evalutations), moons in the training series can be evaluated as many times as you wish.

Work is currently underway to improve training performance and new software will be released shortly. If you find the training time from your location prohibitive please contact cara@csse.uwa.edu.au.
