My fascination with machine learning began in early 2015, when I stumbled across genetic algorithms and neural networks. Popular videos on YouTube showed virtual organisms seemingly magically evolving complex behaviors without any human input. The videos explained that the algorithms were as simple as the crossing over and random mutation that I’d learned in biology class, but I was still in disbelief that such a computer simulation was possible. So naturally, I wrote my own simulation to verify it was possible. After it actually worked, I was captivated, and I took a deep dive into MIT’s open courseware series on AI. I spent about two weeks watching one or two lectures per day, essentially binging an entire semester’s worth of introductory AI material.
