An Overview of Genetic Algorithms

Abstract

Presents an overview of the field of genetic algorithms, pioneered in the field of natural adaptive systems and simulated in software. They are shown as representing a novel optimization strategy which is receiving much attention. In machine learning they are a component of classifier systems which are able to extract rules from data. The algorithms discussed are based on the principles of population genetics and biology.
