10 Game-changing AI Breakthroughs Worth Knowing About

Another set of Nature-inspired algorithms that found their way into the realm of Computer Science are Genetic Algorithms (GAs). Here, you'll find all the Evolution-related Darwinian terminology like -- mutation, reproduction, population, crossover, the survival of the fittest, etc. The Idea behind these evolutionary algorithms is to follow a process of natural selection where the fittest individuals are selected for reproduction. To add some diversity into the population, chromosomes of fittest individuals are mutated every once in a while, randomly. Here, "individuals" implies the potential answer of a given problem.
