Genetic Algorithms in CoffeeScript

Direct link to the code, which is nice and clear to read (Genome / Population):<p><a href="https://github.com/janmonschke/Genetic-Algorithms/tree/gh-pages/coffeescripts" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/janmonschke/Genetic-Algorithms/tree/gh-pa...</a>

Suggestion: TSP is a combinatorial optimization problem and isn't well suited to GAs. You would be much better off using a method meant for combinatorial optimization: notably ant colony optimization.

Everyone seems to claim a better way to do it (myself included).<p>Here's a TSP challenge for you to prove yourselves: <a href="http://www.tsp.gatech.edu/data/usa/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.tsp.gatech.edu/data/usa/index.html</a><p>Deadline is July 4th, 2013 -- Price $500 &#38; Honourable mention for finding the shortest path to the world's largest TSP problem.

Can't help this example could have been illustrated much more clearly in something other then CoffeeScript.

Just ran through this quickly, I don't know too much about algorithms, so I can't judge GA's usefulness when compared to other methods, but it certainly seems like a cool/fun thing to implement.

This got me thinking- is there a use case for client-side ML?

That's supernice!<p>You may want to fix the links in the readme though.

What did you/he use to make the presentation?

Nice talk Jan!
