October Birth Algorithm
Birth Algorithm
Genetic Algorithm
An optimization algorithm proposed by John H. Holland at the University of Michigan in 1975, mimicking biological evolutionary mechanisms. Through three basic operations—selection, crossover, and mutation—it evolves populations of candidate solutions called 'individuals' across generations to search for optimal solutions. Symbolizing the diversity and creativity of autumn harvest season, it possesses the power to generate new value from variety. Despite challenges such as slow convergence and difficulty in setting evaluation criteria, it provides innovative solutions across diverse fields including manufacturing scheduling, molecular design, and game AI development.
