Good day! I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction with this. Essentially I'm trying to: 1) evolve a suitable GP individual (well on my way with this) 2) Serializes/store the resulting tree (seem to be able to do this) 3) De-serialize/load the individual at a later stage (can do it sorta?) 4) Feed it parameters, and run it to get a result. (um?) I have posted this question (with code sample) on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24373981/serializing-ecj-gp-individual-for-later-execution It looks like I'm almost there - but I'm hitting a speed bump with the following: a) executing/evaluating/running a GP individual outside of the GP evolutionary stack seems problematic (lots of scaffolding required) b) Code sample as provided currently requires the original Species object in order to instantiate a new Individual based on the serialized output. This is sorta sucky, since at the point I will need to get things thing running again, that object will be long gone. So basically: will I be having to write my own parser and execution engine, or does ECJ provide something that I've missed so far? Thanks in advance! -- |@|@|@|@| |@|@|@|@| |@|@|@|@| _____ |@|@|@|@| |@|@|@|@| /\_T_T_/\ |@|@|@|@| |@|@|@|@||/\ T T /\||@|@|@|@| ~/T~~T~||~\/~T~\/~||~T~~T\~ \|__|_| \(-(O)-)/ |_|__|/ _| _| \\8_8// |_ |_ |(@)] /~~[_____]~~\ [(@)| ~ ( | | ) ~ [~` ] [ '~] |~~| |~~| | | | | _<\/>_ _<\/>_ /_====_\ /_====_\ HS Coetzee.
