Fitness Landscape Based Parameter Estimation for Robust Taboo Search

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNTCS,volume 8111)

Introduction

Metaheuristic optimization algorithms are general optimization strategies suited to solve a range of real-world relevant optimization problems. Many metaheuristics expose parameters that allow to tune the effort that these algorithms are allowed to make and also the strategy and search behavior [1]. Adjusting these parameters allows to increase the algorithms’ performances with respect to different problem- and problem instance characteristics.

Keywords

  • Problem Instance
  • Problem Size
  • Fitness Landscape
  • Quadratic Assignment Problem
  • Large Problem Size

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
