    • Genetic Algorithm
        • 　
        A type of EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION devised by John Holland [HOLLAND92]. A model of machine learning that uses a genetic/evolutionary metaphor. Implementations typically use fixed-length character strings to represent their genetic information, together with a POPULATION of INDIVIDUALs which undergo CROSSOVER and MUTATION in order to find　　　　
        interesting regions of the SEARCH SPACE.
