In the previous chapter, we looked at different deep learning-based algorithms; these algorithms have shown their success in the fields of recognition, detection, reconstruction, and even in the generation of vision, speech, and text data. While, at present, deep learning (DL) is on top in terms of both application and employability, it has close competition with evolutionary algorithms. The algorithms are inspired by the natural process of evolution, the world's best optimizers. Yes, even we are the result of years of genetic evolution. In this chapter, you will be introduced to the fascinating world of evolutionary algorithms and learn about a specific type of evolutionary algorithm, genetic algorithms, in more detail. In this chapter, you will learn about the following:
- What is optimization
- Different methods to solve an optimization problem ...
