In the last chapter, we introduced the concept of applying evolutionary computation on top of or as an optimization of DL. As a general all-encompassing term, we refer to this process as evolutionary deep learning (EDL). Before we start exploring the applications of EDL, we first need to understand what evolutionary computation or algorithms are.
Evolutionary computation is, likewise, a blanket term for a whole host of ...
