Not your grandmother’s genetic algorithm!

The video of David E. Goldberg’s talk on genetic algorithms entitled Not your Grandmother’s Genetic Algorithm is available on youtube.com. The talk covers topics from the simple genetic algorithm to advanced estimation of distribution algorithms, scalability theory of genetic algorithms and practical solutions to noisy problems of over one billion variables. An amazing lecture, and […]

The video of David E. Goldberg’s talk on genetic algorithms entitled Not your Grandmother’s Genetic Algorithm is available on youtube.com. The talk covers topics from the simple genetic algorithm to advanced estimation of distribution algorithms, scalability theory of genetic algorithms and practical solutions to noisy problems of over one billion variables. An amazing lecture, and a must-see for anyone interested in evolutionary computation and stochastic optimization.

The links to the videos: Part 1, part 2, part 3.
