ACM TechNews Links an Article about GAs
In the last ACM TechNews I found a link to an article about GAs, titled “Virtual Evolution Breeds Answers”, I was glad to see such a topic in an ACM bulletin, until I read the article. Some of the comments seem to come out from the 1980’s, as for instance “[GAs] are quite slow, and they require quite a bit of fiddling” or “finding the precise settings that will give a good solution can take months”. Maybe it is time for an update about GAs! The billion bit paper is a very good start.
