GeneticML is part of a new wave of education platforms that attempt to make machine learning accessible to everyone. GeneticML is complete with literature, interactive demonstrations, and external refrences to provide users with little to no technical background a comprehensive understanding of the use of genetic algorithms for machine learning.
First, check out the Information Page to gain a basic understanding of genetic algorithms. Then, check out the Demos Page to see genetic algorithms in action. Additional resources are available here.
