 Q. What is Optimization? 

A. Optimization means Optimum Point Where conditions are best and most favorable. Optimization algorithms help to obtain the best solutions for complex problems. Different numerical methods for optimization are used to design better systems. 

Q. Why we do Optimization?

A. To Find the better/best among different possible solutions

Q. Why Objective functions are used?

A. Objective functions are used to Maximize or Minimize values that you are trying to Optimize. Using objective functions you can obtain a minimum or maximum value.

Q. Define Meta-heuristic optimization. 

A. Metaheuristic algorithms plays important role in solving real-life problems. Metaheuristic algorithms are Optimization methods used to solve complex engineering problems. A Metaheuristic is an advanced technique for finding good solutions to a complex problem. 

Q. Define multi-objective optimization problems?    

A. When designers want to optimize two or more two objective functions simultaneously is known as a multi-objective optimization problem (aka multi-objective).


Q. Where metaheuristic algorithms are used? 

A. Metaheuristic algorithms are used

  • Machine Learning
  • Data Mining 
  • System Modeling
  • Simulation
  • Engineering designs
  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Telecommunications
  • Routing Problems
  • Biology
  • Finance 

Q. Metaheuristic algorithms design criteria? 

A. Two important design criteria's for metaheuristic optimization are:

  • Exploration of the search space
  • The exploitation of the best solution found

Q. Role of random values in optimization? 

In this video, you will learn about metaheuristic algorithm basic fundamentals.

Q. How Optimization algorithm works? 

A. Optimization is performed randomly. It means the optimization process starts randomly by creating a set of random solutions.

Step 01: Create random solutions (i.e., Create initial population randomly). 

Step 02: Compute fitness value for each solution. 

Step 03: Combine, move or evolve the initial population over a pre-defined number of iteration. 

Step 04: Repeat until the best solution is obtained. 

 In metaheuristic algorithms, the mechanism of combining, moving, or evolving the solution during optimization plays a major role to obtain the best solution among all.

Q. different types of optimization algorithm.

 Cuckoo Search Algorithm - Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithm What is Cuckoo Search Algorithm? Cuckoo Search Algorithm is a Meta-Heuristic Algorithm. Cuckoo Search Algorithm is inspired by some Cuckoo species laying their eggs in the nest of other species of birds. In this algorithm, we have 2 bird Species.  1.) Cuckoo birds   2.) Host Birds (Other Species) What if Host Bird discovered cuckoo eggs? Cuckoo eggs can be found by Host Bird.  Host bird discovers cuckoos egg with Probability of discovery of alien eggs.  If Host Bird Discovered Cuckoo Bird Eggs. The host bird can throw the egg away. Abandon the nest and build a completely new nest. Mathematically, Each egg represent a solution and it is stored in the host bird nest. In this algorithm Artificial Cuckoo Birds are used. Artificial Cuckoo can lay one egg at a time. We will replace New and better solutions with less fit solutions. It means eggs that are more similar to host bird has opportunity to de...

There are about 1000 species of Bats. Bat Algorithm is based on the echolocation behavior of Micro Bats with varying pulse rates of emission and loudness. All bats use echolocation to sense distance and background barriers.  Microbats are small to medium-sized flying mammals. Micro Bats used a Sonar that is known as Echolocation to detect their prey. Bats fly randomly with the velocity at the position with a fixed frequency and loudness for prey.  Q. Whats is Frequency? A. Frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time.
