GAVIN

GAVIN stands for Genetic Algorithm for Varying Input Networks. It’s a computational method used to optimize complex systems by mimicking natural evolution. GAVIN iteratively improves network designs—such as neural networks or other configurations—by selecting, combining, and modifying the best-performing options. These "solutions" undergo processes similar to biological evolution, like mutation and selection, to find the most effective design for a given problem. It’s valuable in engineering and data science when trying to discover optimal or near-optimal solutions in large, complex search spaces where traditional methods may struggle.
