An Introduction to Swarm Intelligence Algorithms - Frances Buontempo - ACCU 2024

ACCU Membership: https://tinyurl.com/ydnfkcyn --- An Introduction to Swarm Intelligence Algorithms - (Swarm Your Way Out of a Paper Bag) - Frances Buontempo - ACCU 2024 --- AI is a huge topic and most people are talking about LLMs at the moment. Let's take a step back and look at something completely different: nature inspired swarm algorithms. We'll discover how to implement algorithms using (virtual) ants, bees and other animals to solve problems. Each approach appears to give rise to swarm intelligence, and provides a good basis for learning how other AI algorithms work.

She has worked as a programmer at various companies, mostly in London with a focus on finance. She enjoys testing and deleting code and tries to keep on learning. --- The ACCU Conference is the annual conference of the ACCU membership, but is open to any and all who wish to attend. The tagline for the ACCU is 'Professionalism in Programming', which captures the whole spectrum of programming languages, tools, techniques and processes involved in advancing our craft. While there remains a core of C and C++ - with many members participating in respective ISO standards bodies - the conference, like the organisation, embraces other language ecosystems and you should expect to see sessions on C#, D, F#, Go, Javascript, Haskell, Java, Kotlin, Lisp, Python, Ruby, Rust, Swift and more.The ACCU Conference is a conference by programmers for programmers about programming. Discounted rates for members.
