Darwinian evolution - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Summary based on both lectures and book. Including some exam questions. I got an 8.5 for the exam. This course is about constructing, applying and studying algorithms based on the Darwinian evolution theory. Driven by selection (survival of the fittest, mating of the fittest) and randomised reproduction (mutation, recombination), an evolutionary process is being emulated and solutions for a given problem are being "bred". During this course, various flavours within evolutionary computing are ...
