Although genetic algorithms act subtly, the basic execution cycle is quite simple: 1. Select pairs from the set of classifiers according to strength; 2. Apply genetic operators to the pairs, creating "offspring;" 3. Replace the weakest classifiers with the offspring. 5, record 1, English, - genetic%20algorithm

Les algorithmes évolutifs sont des algorithmes stochastiques fondés sur la manipulation du processus d'évolution et d'adaptation des organismes dans les milieux naturels. Dans cette large classe d'algorithmes, on retrouve la sous-classe des algorithmes génétiques. Ces derniers sont des processus d'optimisation de problèmes, fondés sur la théorie darwinienne. Un algorithme génétique (AG) a pour but de faire évoluer un ensemble de solutions candidates à un problème posé vers la solution optimale. 2, record 1, French, - algorithme%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9tique
