Hill Climber Best Improvment used as exploitation optimisation algorithm

  • First, this algorithm do a neighborhood exploration of a new generated solution (by doing operation on the current solution obtained) in order to find the best solution from the neighborhood space.

  • Then replace the best solution found from the neighbordhood space as current solution to use.

  • And do these steps until a number of evaluation (stopping criterion) is reached.

class macop.algorithms.mono.HillClimberFirstImprovment(initializer, evaluator, operators, policy, validator, maximise=True, parent=None, verbose=True)[source]

Hill Climber First Improvment used as quick exploration optimisation algorithm

  • First, this algorithm do a neighborhood exploration of a new generated solution (by doing operation on the current solution obtained) in order to find a better solution from the neighborhood space.

  • Then replace the current solution by the first one from the neighbordhood space which is better than the current solution.

  • And do these steps until a number of evaluation (stopping criterion) is reached.

Run the local search algorithm

Parameters

evaluations – {int} – number of Local search evaluations

Returns

{Solution} – best solution found

class macop.algorithms.mono.IteratedLocalSearch(initializer, evaluator, operators, policy, validator, maximise=True, parent=None, verbose=True)[source]

Iterated Local Search used to avoid local optima and increave EvE (Exploration vs Exploitation) compromise

  • A number of evaluations (ls_evaluations) is dedicated to local search process, here HillClimberFirstImprovment algorithm

  • Starting with the new generated solution, the local search algorithm will return a new solution

  • If the obtained solution is better than the best solution known into IteratedLocalSearch, then the solution is replaced

  • Restart this process until stopping critirion (number of expected evaluations)
