Metaheuristic - Fundamentals and Applications

Fouad Sabry

Summary

What Is Metaheuristic
 
In the fields of computer science and mathematical optimization, a metaheuristic is a higher-level procedure or heuristic designed to find, generate, tune, or select a heuristic that may provide a sufficiently good solution to an optimization problem or a machine learning problem. This is especially useful in situations where there is incomplete or imperfect information or limited computation capacity. Metaheuristics take a small sample from a much larger pool of potential solutions, which would otherwise be impossible to completely enumerate or otherwise investigate. It's possible that metaheuristics will make relatively few assumptions about the optimization problem that has to be solved, and as a result, they might be applicable to a wide range of issues.

Alarms and Discursion

G.K. Chesterton

"Alarms and Discursions" is a collection of essays by the brilliant English writer G. K. Chesterton. Let's explore some of the intriguing pieces within this work: Introductory: On Gargoyles: Chesterton begins with a contemplation of a gargoyle—one of those grotesque stone figures that adorned the water-spouts in medieval cathedrals. He reflects on the meaning of the grotesque and embarks on a symbolic reverie about the three great stages of art. The essay takes us on a journey through the ages, exploring the transition from innocence to sophistication, from primitive sun-worship to the intricate craftsmanship of cathedrals. The Surrender of a Cockney: Chesterton humorously dissects the transformation of a Cockney (a Londoner) who moves to the countryside. The Cockney's surrender to the charms of rural life leads to delightful observations about human nature. The Nightmare: In this piece, Chesterton delves into the realm of dreams and nightmares. He muses on the significance of nightmares and their connection to our waking lives. The Appetite of Earth: Chesterton explores the insatiable hunger of the earth itself—the way it consumes and renews life. He weaves together themes of nature, desire, and eternity. The Philosophy of Sight-seeing: Chesterton playfully critiques the modern obsession with sight-seeing. He questions whether travelers truly see what they behold or merely collect superficial experiences. These essays are a delightful blend of wit, wisdom, and whimsy, showcasing Chesterton's unique perspective on life, art, and human existence. "
