They are organized in topical sections as follows: Part I -neural networks and their applications; pattern classification. Part II -evolutionary algorithms and their applications; artificial intelligence in modeling and simulation; computer vision, image and speech analysis. Part III - various problems of artificial intelligence; bioinformatics, biometrics and medical applications.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Natural Computing, TPNC 2021, held virtually, in December 2021. The 9 full papers presented together with 3 invited talks, in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 14 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections named Applications of Natural Computing, Deep Learning and Transfer Learning, Evolutionary and Swarm Algorithms.
The handbook of heuristics consists of five main parts: search strategies, local search, metaheuristics, analysis and implementations, and applications. They cover from search methods and methodological aspects, such as matheuristics, the exciting field in which mathematical programming is combined with heuristics, to applications that provide the practitioner with a description of some relevant optimization issues in a number of specific application areas, such as scheduling, vehicle routing, or network optimization. The first edition of the Handbook of Heuristics was published in 2018 and contained 47 chapters. In this second edition, the authors revised 30 of them to include new developments in the area that appeared in the last few years. In particular, the reader may find 14 chapters in search strategies, including a new chapter on deep learning, 4 in local search, 14 in metaheuristics, 5 in analysis and implementations, and 24 in applications. The inclusion of 14 new chapters makes this second edition even more comprehensive, totaling 61 chapters.
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Applied Intelligence and Informatics, AII 2024, held in London, United Kingdom, during December 18–20, 2024. The 34 full papers included in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 118 submissions. They are organized in these topical sections as follows:Application of AI and Informatics in Pattern Recognition and Application of AI and Informatics in Network, Security,and Analytics.
This introduction to the field of hyper-heuristics presents the required foundations and tools and illustrates some of their applications. The authors organized the 13 chapters into three parts. The first, hyper-heuristic fundamentals and theory, provides an overview of selection constructive, selection perturbative, generation constructive and generation perturbative hyper-heuristics, and then a formal definition of hyper-heuristics. The chapters in the second part of the book examine applications of hyper-heuristics in vehicle routing, nurse rostering, packing and examination timetabling. The third part of the book presents advanced topics and then a summary of the field and future research directions. Finally the appendices offer details of the HyFlex framework and the EvoHyp toolkit, and then the definition, problem model and constraints for the most tested combinatorial optimization problems. The book will be of value to graduate students, researchers, and practitioners.
This book presents recent advances in automated machine learning (AutoML) and automated algorithm design and indicates the future directions in this fast-developing area. Methods have been developed to automate the design of neural networks, heuristics and metaheuristics using techniques such as metaheuristics, statistical techniques, machine learning and hyper-heuristics. The book first defines the field of automated design, distinguishing it from the similar but different topics of automated algorithm configuration and automated algorithm selection. The chapters report on the current state of the art by experts in the field and include reviews of AutoML and automated design of search, theo...
The field of hyper-heuristics has been developing rapidly over the years with a number of new advancements in the field. The book firstly examines the different levels of generality that can be attained by a hyper-heuristic and provides a standardization for hyper-heuristics. The book investigates a further level of generality in hyper-heuristics across discrete and continuous optimization. The concept of learning within hyper-heuristics is then reviewed. The use of hyper-heuristics for the automated design of machine learning and search algorithms as well as the automated design of hyper-heuristics and hybrid hyper-heuristics is examined. An overview of the use of approaches not previously ...
