eBook Description:
Hands-On Genetic Algorithms with Python: Explore the ever-growing world of genetic algorithms to solve search, optimization, and AI-related tasks, and improve machine learning models using Python libraries such as DEAP, scikit-learn, and NumPy
Genetic algorithms are a family of search, optimization, and learning algorithms inspired by the principles of natural evolution. By imitating the evolutionary process, genetic algorithms can overcome hurdles encountered in traditional search algorithms and provide high-quality solutions for a variety of problems. This book will help you get to grips with a powerful yet simple approach to applying genetic algorithms to a wide range of tasks using Python, covering the latest developments in artificial intelligence.
After introducing you to genetic algorithms and their principles of operation, you’ll understand how they differ from traditional algorithms and what types of problems they can solve. You’ll then discover how they can be applied to search and optimization problems, such as planning, scheduling, gaming, and analytics. As you advance, you’ll also learn how to use genetic algorithms to improve your machine learning and deep learning models, solve reinforcement learning tasks, and perform image reconstruction. Finally, you’ll cover several related technologies that can open up new possibilities for future applications.
- Understand how to use state-of-the-art Python tools to create genetic algorithm-based applications
- Use genetic algorithms to optimize functions and solve planning and scheduling problems
- Enhance the performance of machine learning models and optimize deep learning network architecture
- Apply genetic algorithms to reinforcement learning tasks using OpenAI Gym
- Explore how images can be reconstructed using a set of semi-transparent shapes
- Discover other bio-inspired techniques, such as genetic programming and particle swarm optimization
By the end of this Hands-On Genetic Algorithms with Python book, you’ll have hands-on experience of applying genetic algorithms in artificial intelligence as well as in numerous other domains.
