Our algorithm is also not a "face detector". It's a feature-based machine-learned image classifier that was trained on faces and non-faces. However, when speaking to those presumably without a background in machine learning, I think "face detector" conveys more information.
Also, the title "Steady-state-ish (MU, LAMBDA) evolution strategies algorithm, and/or population-based stochastic search: Evolving Human Faces" is too long.
- jobeirne 17y agoI apologize for the attitude, and it wasn't directed at you, but it's driving me crazy how prevalent the confusion is as to what a genetic algorithm actually is.
- jobeirne 17y agoAlso, this doesn't seem to be an apt analogy; I'm no expert on machine learning (certainly) but it seems to me that "face detector" is simply a catchy abstraction that does not necessarily contradict the underlying technicalities of your production. My issue with your titling "Genetic Algorithms" is that it is not simply a more convenient, abstract way of expressing what you did: it is in fact a contradiction of terms with the underlying technical details of what you did.
