Last year, as part of the assessment for a machine learning course, we were asked to write a tutorial paper on a topic of our choice. I chose to write about Evolutionary Algorithms. I’m happy with how it turned out, and the lecturer chose it as an exemplar for future students. For posterity, I’m going to share it here. Unfortunately, the original .tex file is lost to the sands of time (more specifically, it was saved on a thumb drive that was the only casualty in a backpack-dropping accident while getting off the bus). Thus, the only copy I have access to is the PDF file that I submitted online. You can find that here:
