Genetic algorithms lecture
Here are the slides from my talk at UTS last Thursday at the generative components university program show case, about genetic algorithms. The slides don’t make a huge amount of sense on their own, but if you were there, it might jog your memory.
The talk was filmed, and I’ve been promised that it’ll show up on Google video at some point in the future if you want to see what I have to say about blind darts playing pirates and their relevance to heuristic algorithms.
Acrobat butchered some of the text when I exported, but otherwise it’s all fine. There are 2 live demos that aren’t in there, but they’ll show up in the video and I’ll publish the code soon.
[...] Mine is a dramatic speed up of the talk I gave at UTS last year. If you are interested, the slides are here. [...]
[...] down; I first came across this idea when I was thinking a lot about search methods and writing genetic algorithms. I was frustrated that the computer wouldn’t spit out the answer to my question, but instead [...]
