Paul (Santa Clara) and I implemented a simple Genetic Algorithm framework primarily to learn more about GA/GP. Paul had never done anything with it before and I had played around with it in the past. What we did was based on what I'd done before, we ported the code from JScheme to Clojure. The problem isn't really a great example for applying GA to, but it is easy to understand and see how to GA works - I think it's a good pedagogical example. What I was wondering is if there was interest in me giving an 'Intro to GA' talk using our example as a guide. The outline might be something like: - What is GA in 60s - Where did it come from? - What have some people done with it? / what's so great about it - Ok then, how do you do it? - Walk through the example - Share some of my observations about GA - aspects to watch out for when implementing - when not to use it - further ideas? What does the group think? I think I could have something ready in 3-4wks if there is interest.
