Metaheuristic Algorithms: Theory and Practice by Keqin Li .. PDF

This book introduces the theory and applications of metaheuristic algorithms. It also provides methods for solving practical problems in such fields as software engineering, image recognition, video networks, and in the oceans.

In the theoretical section, the book introduces the information feedback model, learning-based intelligent optimization, dynamic multi-objective optimization, and multi-model optimization. In the applications section, the book presents applications of optimization algorithms to neural architecture search, fuzz testing, oceans, and image processing. The neural architecture search chapter introduces the latest NAS method. The fuzz testing chapter uses multi-objective optimization and ant colony optimization to solve the seed selection and energy allocation problems in fuzz testing. In the ocean chapter, deep learning methods such as CNN, transformer, and attention-based methods are used to describe ENSO prediction and image processing for marine fish identification, and to provide an overview of traditional classification methods and deep learning methods.

Rich in examples, this book will be a great resource for students, scholars, and those interested in metaheuristic algorithms, as well as professional practitioners and researchers working on related topics.
