No, actually genetic algorithms are parametric models (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_model http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_model). They cannot get results than is permitted by their model class. And they are relatively poor optimization methods for exploring their parameter space. I cannot think of a single genetic algorithm work published recently in a top-notch machine learning conference (NIPS, ICML, etc.)
- gnosis 17y agoThere's a difference between a human coming up with a model of the problem domain and having an algorithm do it for you. GA's and other EA's fall in to the latter category.
