This course provides an extensive quick guide to Genetic Algorithms (GAs), detailing the principles of this search-based optimization technique inspired by natural selection and genetics. The guide systematically introduces foundational concepts, starting with optimization and the general structure of GAs, including basic terminology like population, chromosomes, and fitness function. Subsequent sections provide in-depth explanations of the core genetic operators, such as different methods for parent selection, various crossover operators (like one-point and uniform), and mutation operators (such as bit flip and swap mutation), all designed to introduce genetic variation. Finally, the tutorial discusses advanced implementation aspects, including survivor selection policies, termination conditions, models of lifetime adaptation (Lamarckian and Baldwinian), theoretical background like the Schema Theorem, and numerous real-world application areas where GAs are employed.

Genetic Algorithms Principles and Practice Course is based on textbook learning material by Academy Europe.
