Machine Learning and Metaheuristics: Methods and Analysis

This book takes a balanced approach between theoretical understanding and real-time applications. All the topics included real-world problems which show how to explore, build, evaluate, and optimize machine learning models fusion with metaheuristic algorithms. Optimization algorithms classified into two broad categories as deterministic and probabilistic algorithms. The content of book elaborates optimization algorithms such as particle swarm optimization, ant colony optimization, whale search algorithm, and cuckoo search algorithm.
