Topological reasoning using a generative representation and a genetic algorithm

This thesis studies the use of a generative representation with a genetic algorithm (GA) to solve topological reasoning problems. Literature review indicates that generative representations outperform the non-generative ones for certain design optimisation and automation problems. However, it also i...
