You should take a look at the design guidelines:

If you are going to implement genetic algorithms, please be sure to
detail the algorithm you plan to use.  Note that genetic algorithms are
typically taught for discrete combinatorial optimization, but in the
case of mlpack, the functions to be optimized are usually continuous and
not discrete.  So you will need to implement a version of genetic
algorithms that works with continuous variables.
