Genetic Algorithms: Cool Name & Damn Simple

Nice GA tutorial.

Genetic algorithms are a mysterious sounding technique in mysterious sounding field--artificial intelligence. This is the problem with naming things appropriately. When the field was labeled artificial intelligence, it meant using mathematics to artificially create the semblance of intelligence, but self-engrandizing researchers and Isaac Asimov redefined it as robots.

The name genetic algorithms does sound complex and has a faintly magical ring to it, but it turns out that they are one of the simplest and most-intuitive concepts you'll encounter in A.I.
