Chapter 8. Genetic Algorithms
In this chapter, we are going to learn about genetic algorithms. We will discuss the concepts of evolutionary algorithms and genetic programming, and see how they are related to genetic algorithms. We will learn about the fundamental building blocks of genetic algorithms including crossover, mutation, and fitness functions. We will then use these concepts to build various systems.
By the end of this chapter, you will know about the following:
- Understanding evolutionary and genetic algorithms
- Fundamental concepts in genetic algorithms
- Generating a bit pattern with predefined parameters
- Visualizing the progress of the evolution
- Solving the symbol regression problem
- Building an intelligent robot controller
