9.7: Genetic Algorithm: Pool Selection - The Nature of Code

In this Genetic Algorithm video, I discuss improvements and strategies for "pool selection" (such as rejection sampling / monte carlo simulation) to pick "parents" based on probabilities mapped to their fitness score. https://thecodingtrain.com/more/archi... 🕹️ p5.js Web Editor Sketch: https://editor.p5js.org/codingtrain/s... 🎥 Previous video:    • 9.6: Genetic Algorithm: Improved Fitness F...   🎥 Next video:    • 9.8: Weighted Selection (for Genetic Algor...   🎥 All videos:    • 9: Genetic Algorithms - The Nature of Code   Links discussed in this video: 🔗 Pool Selection: https://github.com/CodingTrain/Rainbo... 🔗 Rejection Sampling (Wikipedia): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rejecti... Timestamps: 0:00 Hello and welcome! 0:25 Let's talk about my algorithm for selection. 2:02 Explain! Rejection sampling (accept reject). 5:00 Let's look at a accept reject example in processing. 7:17 Code! Let's make an acceptReject() function! 12:31 Whoops! There's a few things we need to fix. 15:52 Thanks for watching! 🚂 Website: http://thecodingtrain.com/ 👾 Share Your Creation! https://thecodingtrain.com/Guides/com... 🚩 Suggest Topics: https://github.com/CodingTrain/Rainbo... 💡 GitHub: https://github.com/CodingTrain 💬 Discord:   / discord   💖 Membership: http://youtube.com/thecodingtrain/join 🛒 Store: https://standard.tv/codingtrain 📚 Books: https://www.amazon.com/shop/thecoding... 🖋️ Twitter:   / thecodingtrain   📸 Instagram:   / the.coding.train   🎥 Coding Challenges:    • Coding Challenges   🎥 Intro to Programming:    • Start learning here!   🔗 p5.js: https://p5js.org 🔗 p5.js Web Editor: https://editor.p5js.org/ 🔗 Processing: https://processing.org 📄 Code of Conduct: https://github.com/CodingTrain/Code-o...
