The Genetic Algorithm is the most widely known Evolutionary Algorithm and can be applied to a wide range of problems. After explaining the basic principles, I will show how to apply the Genetic Algorithm to the so-called 0-1-KNAPSACK problem and come up with an implementation of a suggested configuration [1] for the algorithm in Ruby.

Within the last decades it turned out that it is often much easier to tell a computer how to learn to do a specific task rather then telling it exactly how to do it. One of the generic terms for this could be Machine Learning, which is basically summarized by Wikipedia as: Machine learning, a [...]
Hi,
