Genetic Algorithms Demystified
Peter Leow
Unravel the Myths and Power of Genetic Algorithms in Machine Learning.Genetic Algorithmsbelong to a larger class of computer-based problem solving systems called Evolutionary Algorithms which use computational models that follow the principles of evolution and heredity in their design and implementation. Genetic Algorithms deal with optimization problems. Inspired by Darwin’s theory of evolution, Genetic Algorithms employ a repeated process of selection, attrition, and cross-breeding of potential solutions in search of the optimal one to a problem.
