Genetic Algorithms in Go

Explore genetic algorithms through a conference talk from Voxxed Days Singapore 2018. Discover the basics of these metaheuristics based on natural selection, with practical examples including evolving a Shakespearean phrase and recreating the Mona Lisa image. Learn about defining and finding organisms, calculating differences, implementing breeding pool mechanisms, and understanding fitness in genetic algorithms. Gain insights from speaker Sau Sheong Chang, an experienced software developer with 22 years in web application development and contributions to Ruby and Go communities.
