Explore evolutionary algorithms, a type of machine learning, in this conference talk from ACCU 2016. Delve into genetic algorithms (GA) and cellular automata (CA) through the unique context of programming one's way out of a paper bag. Gain a solid understanding of the basics of evolutionary computing and learn how to apply these concepts to other problems. Enjoy a simplified explanation of complex ideas, complemented by visual aids, as the speaker demonstrates how machines can be guided to learn and solve problems. By the end of this 86-minute presentation, acquire the knowledge needed to experiment with evolutionary algorithms in various scenarios.
