In Optimization Algorithms: AI techniques for design, planning, and control problems you will learn:

• The core concepts of search and optimization

• Deterministic and stochastic optimization techniques

• Graph search algorithms

• Trajectory-based optimization algorithms

• Evolutionary computing algorithms

• Swarm intelligence algorithms

• Machine learning methods for search and optimization problems

• Efficient trade-offs between search space exploration and exploitation

• State-of-the-art Python libraries for search and optimization

Inside this comprehensive guide, you’ll find a wide range of optimization methods, from deterministic search algorithms to stochastic derivative-free metaheuristic 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. Plus, get hands-on experience with practical exercises to optimize and scale the performance of each algorithm.

About the technology

Every time you call for a rideshare, order food delivery, book a flight, or schedule a hospital appointment, an algorithm works behind the scenes to find the optimal result. Blending modern AI methods with classical search and optimization techniques can deliver incredible results, especially for the messy problems you encounter in the real world. This book shows you how.

About the book

Optimization Algorithms explains in clear language how optimization algorithms work and what you can do with them. This engaging book goes beyond toy examples, presenting detailed scenarios that use actual industry data and cutting-edge AI techniques. You will learn how to apply modern optimization algorithms to real-world problems like pricing products, matching supply with demand, balancing assembly lines, tuning parameters, coordinating mobile networks, and cracking smart mobility challenges.
