bookClonal Selection Algorithm

Note
Definition

The clonal selection algorithm is inspired by the way biological immune systems respond to antigens.

When your immune system detects an invader, it selects immune cells with the highest affinity, clones them, and introduces mutations to create diversity. This process, called affinity maturation, enables adaptation and memory.

The clonal selection algorithm uses these ideas for optimization:

  • Evaluate candidate solutions for their affinity (solution quality);
  • Clone those with higher affinity more often;
  • Mutate clones to generate new variations.

This process explores the solution space and focuses on promising areas.

Diversity and Adaptation in Clonal Selection

The clonal selection algorithm maintains diversity by mutating clones, generating new candidate solutions and avoiding premature convergence. Through repeated selection, cloning, and mutation—known as affinity maturation—the population adapts over time. This process balances exploitation of high-quality solutions with exploration of new possibilities, making the algorithm effective for complex optimization tasks.
