Lesson overview
Three problems land on your desk on Monday. Gradient descent, a genetic algorithm, a swarm, Bayesian optimization, or reinforcement learning? Four questions about the objective pick the tool.
What you’ll explore
- Comparisons among evolutionary, fuzzy, symbolic, Bayesian, and gradient methods should expose objective access, representation, constraints, evaluation cost, and interpretability limits.
