Zhao Xiang · Journal of Computer Applications · 2010
There are many kinds of evaluation methods for heuristic algorithms,but their evaluation standards are different.Through analyzing the various factors affecting algorithm performance,this paper presented a general method to evaluate heuristic optimization algorithms based on their commonnesses.Learning Algorithm(LA) was introduced to find the most concise version of the optimization algorithm.The general evaluation method was also applied in the evaluation of LA.A conclusion is drawn that LA is a kind of effective heuristic optimization algorithm,and its optimized performance is superior to the classical algorithms,such as Genetic Algorithm(GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO).
