genetic algorithm.
Args:
pop_size (int): The population size. Defaults to 20.
max_iters (int): The maximum number of iterations to use. Defaults to 50.
temp (float): Temperature for softmax function used to normalize probability dist when sampling parents.
Higher temperature increases the sensitivity to lower probability candidates.
give_up_if_no_improvement (bool): If True, stop the search early if no candidate that improves the score is found.
post_crossover_check (bool): If True, check if child produced from crossover step passes the constraints.
max_crossover_retries (int): Maximum number of crossover retries if resulting child fails to pass the constraints.
Applied only when `post_crossover_check` is set to `True`.
Setting it to 0 means we immediately take one of the parents at random as the child upon failure.
