At the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) is an alternative approach to deep learning. Evolutionary algorithms (EA) are a subset of evolutionary computation—algorithms that ...

The proposal that evolution could be used as a metaphor for problem solving came with the invention of the computer 1. In the 1970s and 1980s the principal idea was developed into different ...

The goal of a numerical optimization problem is to find a vector of values that minimizes some cost function. The most fundamental example is minimizing the Sphere Function f(x0, x1, .. xn) = x0^2 + ...
