针对本科生的演化算法教学探讨

Discussions on teaching methods of evolution algorithm for undergraduate students

演化算法是一种自然启发式全局优化算法,其鲁棒性、高效性、全局搜索能力和隐并行性好等特点,使其成为计算机领域的一个研究热点。为了能使本科生对演化计算方法有所了解,并对今后的工作或研究生学习有所帮助,有必要为计算机专业的本科生开设演化计算课程。文章结合在本科生教学中的心得,对如何开展本科生演化算法教学进行了探讨。

Evolution algorithm （EA） is a naturally inspired global optimization method. Due to its robustness, high efficiency, global search ability, and implicit parallelism, EA has become a hot research topic in computer science. In order to make undergraduate students, especially those majoring in computer, understand the algorithm, it is necessary to teach the course of evolution computing. In this paper, it is discussed how to teach the methods and techniques in EA for the undergraduate students.
