Description for Tuning Metaheuristics
Hardback. This book lays the foundations for a scientific approach to tuning metaheuristics. The fundamental intuition that underlies Birattari's approach is that the tuning problem has much in common with the problems that are typically faced in machine learning. Series: Studies in Computational Intelligence. Num Pages: 221 pages, 7 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBF; PBW; UYQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 14. Weight in Grams: 1110.
Metaheuristics are a relatively new but already established approachto c- binatorial optimization. A metaheuristic is a generic algorithmic template that can be used for ?nding high quality solutions of hard combinatorial - timization problems. To arrive at a functioning algorithm, a metaheuristic needs to be con?gured: typically some modules need to be instantiated and someparametersneedto betuned.Icallthese twoproblems"structural"and "parametric" tuning, respectively. More generally, I refer to the combination of the two problems as "tuning". Tuning is crucial to metaheuristic optimization both in academic research andforpracticalapplications.Nevertheless,relativelylittle researchhasbeen devoted to the issue.
