Una-May O'Reilly

I am from the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, (CSAIL) where MIT. I lead EVO-DesignOpt.

My bio and other stuff on my web site tell you about me. A little extra pertinent info: I was an SFI Doctoral fellow from 1993-1995. I've been at MIT ever since. And... I met my husband at SFI...he was the first SFI'r I met when I arrived. How about that for good fortune.

Evolutionary Algorithm Software

Homework? Never! But for some people the best way to understand a genetic algorithm or any other sort of Evolutionary Algorithm is to implement or use one. I insist that my students write at least one from scratch but, as a project grows, it is often more efficient not to frequently reinvent the wheel. Google or any other internet search engine suffices to find software implementations. They come in an assortment of languages, vary in age, support and popularity. SFI is looking into buying the profession Matlab GA toolbox. It includes a short demo that compares GAs on the optimization of a few functions.

A new line marks the end of the list.

A colon (:) indents a line or paragraph.

A newline starts a new paragraph.
Often used for discussion on talk pages.

We use 1 colon to indent once.
