Spring 2020

Seminar in Computer Science: Evolutionary Computation 

Listed in: Computer Science, as COSC-452

Faculty

Lee Spector (Section 01)

Description

Evolutionary computation techniques harness the mechanisms of biological evolution, including mutation, recombination, and selection, to build software systems that solve difficult problems or shed light on the nature of evolutionary processes. In this course students will explore several evolutionary computation techniques and apply them to problems of their choosing. The technique of genetic programming, in which populations of executable programs evolve through natural selection, will be emphasized.

Requisite: COSC 112. Limited to 20 students. Preference given to Computer Science majors. Spring semester. Professor Spector.

If Overenrolled: Priority to Computer Science majors
