# TorchGA: Training PyTorch Models using the Genetic Algorithm
[TorchGA](https://github.com/ahmedfgad/TorchGA) is part of the [PyGAD](https://pypi.org/project/pygad) library for training [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org) models using the genetic algorithm (GA). This feature is supported starting from [PyGAD](https://pypi.org/project/pygad) 2.10.0.

The [TorchGA](https://github.com/ahmedfgad/TorchGA) project has a single module named `torchga.py` which has a class named `TorchGA` for preparing an initial population of PyTorch model parameters.

[PyGAD](https://pypi.org/project/pygad) is an open-source Python library for building the genetic algorithm and training machine learning algorithms. Check the library's documentation at [Read The Docs](https://pygad.readthedocs.io/): https://pygad.readthedocs.io

# Life Cycle of PyGAD

The next figure lists the different stages in the lifecycle of an instance of the `pygad.GA` class. Note that PyGAD stops when either all generations are completed or when the function passed to the `on_generation` parameter returns the string `stop`.

![PyGAD Lifecycle](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16560492/89446279-9c6f8380-d754-11ea-83fd-a60ea2f53b85.jpg)

The next code implements all the callback functions to trace the execution of the genetic algorithm. Each callback function prints its name.

```python
import pygad
import numpy

function_inputs = [4,-2,3.5,5,-11,-4.7]
desired_output = 44

def fitness_func(ga_instance, solution, solution_idx):
    output = numpy.sum(solution*function_inputs)
    fitness = 1.0 / (numpy.abs(output - desired_output) + 0.000001)
    return fitness

fitness_function = fitness_func

def on_start(ga_instance):
    print("on_start()")

def on_fitness(ga_instance, population_fitness):
    print("on_fitness()")

def on_parents(ga_instance, selected_parents):
    print("on_parents()")

def on_crossover(ga_instance, offspring_crossover):
    print("on_crossover()")

def on_mutation(ga_instance, offspring_mutation):
    print("on_mutation()")

def on_generation(ga_instance):
    print("on_generation()")

def on_stop(ga_instance, last_population_fitness):
    print("on_stop()")

ga_instance = pygad.GA(num_generations=3,
                       num_parents_mating=5,
                       fitness_func=fitness_function,
                       sol_per_pop=10,
                       num_genes=len(function_inputs),
                       on_start=on_start,
                       on_fitness=on_fitness,
                       on_parents=on_parents,
                       on_crossover=on_crossover,
                       on_mutation=on_mutation,
                       on_generation=on_generation,
                       on_stop=on_stop)

ga_instance.run()
```

Based on the used 3 generations as assigned to the `num_generations` argument, here is the output.

```
on_start()

on_fitness()
on_parents()
on_crossover()
on_mutation()
on_generation()

on_stop()
```

print("Index of the best solution : {solution_idx}".format(solution_idx=solution_idx))

# Fetch the parameters of the best solution.
