### 👯‍♂️ Population

This module contains the class Population. A Population object corresponds to a set of agents or individuals within a problem domain. These agents themselves do not explore the function landscape, but they know when to update the position according to a selection procedure.

### 🧠 Machine Learning

This module contains the implementation of Machine Learning models which can power a hyper-heuristic model from this framework. In particular, it is implemented a wrapper for a Neural Network model from Tensorflow. Also, contains auxiliary data structures which process sample of sequences to generate training data for Machine Learning models.

This project was born thanks to the initial support of the institutions listed below from 2019 to 2021. They are no longer maintaining it or involved in any form, and perhaps they don't even know they were part of it. Now, it is an independent project maintained by some volunteers, including its creator, who appreciate the contribution of those men in suits who once approved that boring budget line that allowed us, you and me, to share these words.
