 For example, a [neuroevolution setup](lib/machine_learning_workbench/systems/neuroevolution.rb) brings together evolutionary computation and neural networks.
 
 For an example of how to build it from scratch, check this [neuroevolution script](examples/neuroevolution.rb). To run it, use `bundle exec ruby examples/neuroevolution.rb`
