Question

Define genetic algorithms and its main theme.

Answer 1

Darwin’s theory of evolution has been the inspiration for genetic algorithms. The algorithm uses an evolutionary process to arrive at the solution to a problem. The algorithm works using a set of solutions known as population and functions as an essential heuristic search method in many artificial algorithm and machine learning applications to determine optimized solutions for search problems.

A genetic algorithm relies on bio-inspired operators like selection, crossover and mutation.
