Book cover Evolutionary Machine Learning Techniques

Abstract

This section first provides an overview of the machine learning field in artificial intelligence (AI). The most well-regarded classes of methods in AI are discussed to show where AI optimization algorithms and machine learning techniques fit in. Different types of learning are briefly covered as well including supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement techniques. The last part of this chapter includes discussions on evolutionary machine learning, which is the focus of this book.
