Natural Selection, Inc.^® was created to bring the cutting edge of high technology to bear on real-world problems in industry, medicine, and defense. With the ever-increasing speed of computers, we are now in a position to apply sophisticated computational intelligence algorithms to many of these problems without requiring expensive supercomputing.

Natural Selection, Inc.^® relies on many technologies to address difficult problems such as factory scheduling, agent-based combat simulations, and breast cancer detection from mammograms. Essential to these technologies are the areas of evolutionary computation, neural networks, and fuzzy systems. Traditional artificial intelligence relies on capturing rules and knowledge from human experts. Although this may be useful to some degree, we can go beyond the limits of human knowledge and allow the computer to generate and test its own solutions to problems that may prove even more worthwhile.
