When developing optimisation algorithms, the focus often lies on obtaining an algorithm that is able to outperform other existing algorithms for some performance measure. It is not common practice to question the reasons for possible performance differences observed. These types of questions relate to ...
The image below shows a completely empty grid graph and 3 different optimal paths. The algorithm will have to search through all the nodes in the green region because they are all equally good (i.e., they have the same length). All those nodes lie on an optimal path because in a grid...
In this short tutorial, we’ll cover the definition of a heuristic function, its pros and cons, and some of its well-known examples. 2. Heuristic Function 2.1. Definition A heuristic function (algorithm) or simply a heuristic is a shortcut to solving a problem when there are no exact sol...
This section aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the proposed Artificial Lemming Algorithm (ALA). We begin by discussing the biological inspiration behind the algorithm, which is based on the four different behaviours of lemmings. Following this, we present the mathematical formulations that mo...
This tutorial presents the basic results that follow from various No Free Lunch theorems. The presentation is designed to be intuitive and accessible to a general reader. The Sharpened No Free Lunch theorem applies to black box optimization and states that no arbitrarily selected algorithm is better...

search algorithm, called uniform cost search. Your assignment is to extend this framework to use heuristics to reduce the amount of searching needed to find an optimal solution. You will basically end up with A*. 2 Design In order to make this system more domain independent, the domain depend...

These four examples demonstrate that offline learning is able to improve hyper-heuristic performance by generalising over the problems of a domain. However, the methodologies employed differ markedly and are dictated by the choice of learning algorithm and/or the choice of problem state space represent...
