Study Notes
Genetic Algorithms
- Genetic algorithms (GA) are a type of metaheuristic inspired by natural selection, belonging to the class of evolutionary algorithms (EA).
- GA's are used to generate high-quality solutions to optimization and search problems.
Key Applications
- Optimizing decision trees for better performance
- Solving Sudoku puzzles
- Hyperparameter optimization
- Causal inference
Methodology
- A population of candidate solutions (individuals, creatures, organisms, or phenotypes) is evolved towards better solutions for an optimization problem.
- Each candidate solution has a set of properties (chromosomes or genotype) that can be mutated and altered.
- Traditionally, solutions are represented in binary as strings of 0s and 1s, but other encodings are also used.
