Keki Burjorjee’s Summary

I'm in the final stages of a Ph.D. in Computer Science. The subject of my research is the genetic algorithm's remarkable yet mysterious capacity for adaptation. I have developed a new hypothesis about the workings of this algorithm. My hypothesis departs from the building block hypothesis at a fundamental level, and has some deep ramifications for the fields of combinatorial optimization, machine learning, evolutionary biology, and, of course, genetic algorithmics. This hypothesis is based on recent breakthroughs in identifying the computational power underlying the adaptive capacity of genetic algorithms.
