Genetic operator Optimization Foundations
noun phrase
Definition: An operation used in evolutionary algorithms to transform candidate solutions, especially selection, crossover (recombination), and mutation [Siddique, Adeli 2013].
Example in context: “In the whole process, Bi-GAN first updates the hyper-parameters, then GA updates and optimizes the network according to the fitness function value and genetic operator.” [Wang et al. 2024]
