Charles Darwin had an idea: that over time, species of animals adapted; evolved. Later, in the 1950s, computer scientists thought , "Hey, why not model natural selection on a computer?" With that, genetic algorithms were born! This talk will introduce (softly, I promise) genetic algorithms... applications of genetic algorithms, and hopefully some takeaway concepts and frameworks so you can try your own.
