Optimization Algorithms (MEAP V07)


Free Download Optimization Algorithms (MEAP V07)
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9781633438835 | 584 Pages | PDF EPUB | 43 MB
Optimization problems are everywhere in daily life. What’s the fastest route from one place to another? How do you calculate the optimal price for a product? How should you plant crops, allocate resources, and schedule surgeries? Optimization Algorithms introduces the AI algorithms that can solve these complex and poorly-structured problems. Inside you’ll find a wide range of optimization methods, from deterministic and stochastic derivative-free optimization to nature-inspired search algorithms and machine learning methods. Don’t worry-there’s no complex mathematical notation. You’ll learn through in-depth case studies that cut through academic complexity to demonstrate how each algorithm works in the real world.

Enhancing Surrogate-Based Optimization Through Parallelization


Free Download Enhancing Surrogate-Based Optimization Through Parallelization
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031306082 | 123 Pages | PDF (True) | 3 MB
This book presents a solution to the challenging issue of optimizing expensive-to-evaluate industrial problems such as the hyperparameter tuning of machine learning models. The approach combines two well-established concepts, Surrogate-Based Optimization (SBO) and parallelization, to efficiently search for optimal parameter setups with as few function evaluations as possible.
