It looks like there is a genetic algorithm for grouping in @yeeunmariakim's fork: https://github.com/yeeunmariakim/gatorgrouper/blob/master/genetic_algorithm.py This might be a good starting point for this feature?

Yes, I have emailed her and received reply that we can start based on that file. However, we still need to follow MIT license.

Hey, you guys might want to check out this link. http://www.otlet-institute.org/wikics/Grouping_Genetic_Algorithms.html It has a description of grouping genetic algorithm(GGA) that is an example of applying GA on grouping problems. I feel this will suit our project better
