Genetic Algorithms: Programming by the Seat of Your Genes!
The term Genetic Algorithms sounds intimidating to most, a subject obviously beyond the comprehension of anyone with fewer than two advanced degrees. But in truth, genetic algorithms are – like the biological evolution that inspired them – little more sophisticated than trial and error, and their power to solve problems with complex constraints makes them a tool worth having. This talk will bring genetic algorithms out of academic papers and expensive textbooks and teach those of us in industry what's needed to put them to use.
