Genetic Algorithm: Fundamentals and Applications

In the fields of computer science and operations research, a genetic algorithm (GA) is a metaheuristic that is modeled after the process of natural selection and is a subcategory of evolutionary algorithms (EA), which are a broader category. By relying on biologically inspired operators like mutation, crossover, and selection, genetic algorithms are often employed to develop high-quality solutions to optimization and search problems. This is accomplished through the use of genetic programming. Applications of GA include, but are not limited to, improving the efficiency of decision trees through optimization, deciphering sudoku puzzles, optimizing hyperparameters, drawing causal inferences, and other similar tasks.
