Intelligent Algorithms: Theory and Practice discusses the latest achievements of the computation time analysis theory and practical applications of intelligent algorithms. In five chapters, the book covers (1) New methods of intelligent algorithm computation time analysis; (2)Application of intelligent algorithms in computer vision; (3) Application of intelligent algorithms in logistics scheduling; (4) Application of intelligent algorithms in software testing; and (5) Application of intelligent algorithm in multi-objective optimization.
The content of each chapter is supported by papers published in top journals. The book's authors introduce the work of each part, which mainly includes a brief introduction (mainly for readers to understand) and academic discussion (rigorous theoretical and experimental support), in a vivid and interesting way through excellent pictures and literary compositions. To help readers learn and make progress together, each part of this book provides relevant literature, code, experimental data, and so on.
- Integrates the theoretical analysis results of intelligent algorithms, which is convenient for the majority of researchers to deeply understand the theoretical analysis results of intelligent algorithms and further supplement and improve the theoretical research of intelligent algorithms
- Opens up readers' understanding of the theoretical level of intelligent algorithms and spreads the inherent charm of intelligent algorithms
- Integrates the diverse knowledge of society and provides a more comprehensive and scientific knowledge of intelligent algorithm theory
