Firefly Algorithm - Pytorch

Exploration into the Firefly algorithm (a generalized version of particle swarm optimization) in Pytorch. In particular interested in hybrid firefly + genetic algorithms, or ones that are gender-based.

Install

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Test on rosenbrock minimization

$ python firefly.py --use-genetic-algorithm
