Evolutionary Machine Learning: The Next Deep Learning?

So much of what Engineers design and build today takes inspiration from nature. Boeing added flaps on the wings of their planes mimicking Eagles, the shape of Whale fins helped reduce drag on wind turbines and the noses of bullet trains look suspiciously like a Kingfisher's beak. Nature has often already found elegant solutions to problems that our best and brightest work on every day. Nature finds these solutions through a process of natural selection where the genes of the best performing organisms are passed on to successive generations. "Can we use Evolution to autonomously design and build Machine Learning algorithms?" Evolutionary Machine Learning uses Darwinian natural selection to autonomously design, train and optimise Neural Networks.
