The video of my GECCO-2008 tutorial on Probabilistic Model-Building Genetic Algorithms (PMBGAs) or Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) is now available online at Google Video:
The video was produced by Pier Luca Lanzi (thanks!).
The slides for the talk can be downloaded here.

Since on slideshare.net there are already many presentations related to estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs), I started a group for EDA presentations there. The group can be found here. Feel free to join and please contribute.

I just put my estimation of distribution algorithms tutorial slides (usually presented at GECCO) on slideshare.net, check them out:
I also put some other GECCO-2007 presentations online:
Most MEDAL presentations can also be downloaded here.
