Its more of a 'brute force' method ... genetic algorithms take one or more variables and randomly change them. Then keep iterating on a solution that works - you don't need to know why something works only that it works better than the previous solution.
- bmh100 12y agoWhile genetic algorithms are highly iterative and often computationally expensive approaches to randomized search, they are vastly more efficient actual brute force methods. It would be better to say "it is more of a 'randomized search' method", especially with the connotations associated to actual brute force techniques. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_search https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_search
