Cuckoo Search (CS) is a recently proposed metaheuristic algorithm to solve optimization problems. For improving its performance both on the efficiency of searching and the speed of convergence, we proposed an improved Cuckoo Search algorithm based on the teaching-learning strategy (TLCS). For a better balance between intensification and diversification, both a dynamic weight factor and an out-of-bound project strategies are also introduced into TLCS. The results of numerical experiment demonstrate that our improved TLCS performs better than the basic CS and other two improved CS methods appearing in literatures.
