Cultural algorithm
open-in-new
<p>Cultural algorithms (CA) are a branch of <a href="/facts/Evolutionary_computation/qXyxPI8j">evolutionary computation</a> where there is a knowledge component that is called the belief space in addition to the <a href="/facts/Population/ArxshNuB">population</a> component. In this sense, cultural algorithms can be seen as an extension to a conventional <a href="/facts/Genetic_algorithm/WP2AFWuW">genetic algorithm</a>. Cultural algorithms were introduced by Reynolds (see references). </p>
