Advanced programming^[1]

In computer science and operations research, a genetic algorithm (GA) is a metaheuristic inspired by the process of natural selection that belongs to the larger class of evolutionary algorithms (EA). Genetic algorithms are commonly used to generate high-quality solutions to optimization and search problems by relying on biologically inspired operators such as mutation, crossover and selection^[2]

Please first review the characteristics of algorithms.
Please then review the characteristics of heuristics.

The basic pattern of genetic algorithms[edit]

A random set of solutions would be generated on the sample documents
And tested against the human labelling
Best fit solutions retained
New generation created by mutating/crossing
Algorithm repeated
Until a good fit obtained

Use of genetic algorithms[edit]

Some videos[edit]
