Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) represent a class of heuristic optimisation methods inspired by natural selection and Mendelian genetics. They iteratively evolve a population of candidate solutions ...
Scientists have prototyped a new method for 'rationally engineering' enzymes to deliver improved performance. They have devised an algorithm, which takes into account an enzyme's evolutionary history, ...
Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research says that when quantum computing becomes generally available, evolutionary algorithms for training huge neural networks could become a very important and ...
