Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research says that when quantum computing becomes generally available, evolutionary algorithms for training huge neural networks could become a very important and ...

Evolution is a very slow process, due largely to the fact that nature doesn't "know" in advance which features of an animal will be beneficial. A new AI-based algorithm does know, however, allowing it ...

The goal of a numerical optimization problem is to find a vector of values that minimizes some cost function. The most fundamental example is minimizing the Sphere Function f(x0, x1, .. xn) = x0^2 + ...
