A PRACTICAL TECHNICAL NOTEBOOK ● EST. 2002
Curiosity, written
in code.
Artificial intelligence, programming and web development—explained through useful examples, experiments and real projects.
RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT / 2003
From genetic algorithms to the AI of today.
In 2003, Manuel Penaloza and I published a paper on using genetic algorithms for course scheduling. That work remains a starting point for exploring optimization, evolutionary computing and modern AI on this site.
