Machine Learning and Metaheuristic ComputationEdición 1

Learn to bridge the gap between machine learning and metaheuristic methods to solve problems in optimization approaches

Few areas of technology have greater potential to revolutionize the globe than artificial intelligence. Two key areas of artificial intelligence, machine learning and metaheuristic computation, have an enormous range of individual and combined applications in computer science and technology. To date, these two complementary paradigms have not always been treated together, despite the potential of a combined approach which maximizes the utility and minimizes the drawbacks of both.

Machine Learning and Metaheuristic Computation offers an introduction to both of these approaches and their joint applications. Both a reference text and a course, it is built around the popular Python programming language to maximize utility. It guides the reader gradually from an initial understanding of these crucial methods to an advanced understanding of cutting-edge artificial intelligence tools.

The text also provides:

• Treatment suitable for readers with only basic mathematical training
• Detailed discussion of topics including dimensionality reduction, clustering methods, differential evolution, and more
• A rigorous but accessible vision of machine learning algorithms and the most popular approaches of metaheuristic optimization

Machine Learning and Metaheuristic Computation is ideal for students, researchers, and professionals looking to combine these vital methods to solve problems in optimization approaches.
