contrast with GAs

[edit]

The page says to contrast with GAs, but GAs are often considered a particular kind of randomized optimization algorithm, in the sense that all randomized-optimization algorithms except for a purely random one use some method for trying to bias the randomness towards better regions of the search space, and the mutation/crossover paradigm is one such method. --Delirium (talk) 05:57, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
