Genetic Algorithms

This is mainly a note for myself, but may be useful to some passer by. I never understood how a genetic algorithm could successfully be used, until now. One would come in handy for setting up a neural network by evolving the weights used to connect the "neurons". It would be more ideal than just tweaking the weights somewhat randomly to achieve the results you want.

There are more uses for genetic alogrithms, and I'll leave a further elucidation to either Google or someone who uses them in his work/studies.
