Genetic algorithms

Genetic algorithms or GAs view learning as a competition among a population of evolving candidate problem solutions. A 'fitness' function estimates each solution for deciding whether it will contribute to the next generation of solutions or not. After that, as in gene transfer in sexual reproduction, the algorithm creates a new population of candidate solutions.
