Practical Genetic Algorithms in Python and MATLAB

Genetic Algorithms are a subset of Evolutionary Algorithms which are mostly used to solve optimization problems. They work by iteratively creating a population of solutions, evaluating each solution, and then selecting the best solutions to create the next generation. In this comprehensive course, you will learn how to implement Genetic Algorithms in both Python and MATLAB. You will start by learning the core concepts of GAs, such as selection, crossover, mutation, and fitness functions. Then, we will implement binary and real-coded GAs in MATLAB. In the last topic, we switch to Python and implement Genetic Algorithms from scratch in the domain of real numbers.

Genetic Algorithms are useful because they can be used to solve a wide range of problems, even those that are too complex or computationally expensive for other methods. GAs are also very versatile, and they can be applied to problems in a variety of domains, such as engineering, machine learning, and finance.

By the end of this course, you will be able to understand the core concepts of genetic algorithms, implement genetic algorithms in both Python and MATLAB, and get ready to apply genetic algorithms to solve a variety of real-world optimization problems. GAs are a valuable skillset for anyone working in Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, or Engineering. By mastering GAs, you will be able to optimize solutions efficiently and effectively. Imagine being able to use GAs to design better algorithms, fine-tune neural networks, or enhance business processes. With GAs at your disposal, the possibilities are endless.
