These algorithms consist of two main\ncategories, i.e., classic mathematical and metaheuristic algorithms. This\narticle proposes a meta-algorithm, Tree-Based Optimization (TBO), which uses\nother heuristic optimizers as its sub-algorithms in order to improve the\nperformance of search. The proposed algorithm is based on mathematical tree\nsubject and improves performance and speed of search by iteratively removing\nparts of the search space having low fitness, in order to minimize and purify\nthe search space. The experimental results on several well-known benchmarks\nshow the outperforming performance of TBO algorithm in finding the global\nsolution. Experiments on high dimensional search spaces show significantly\nbetter performance when using the TBO algorithm. The proposed algorithm\nimproves the search algorithms in both accuracy and speed aspects, especially\nfor high dimensional searching such as in VLSI CAD tools for Integrated Circuit\n(IC) design.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1809.09284v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1809.09284v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"tree-based-optimization-a-meta-algorithm-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/bghojogh/TBO-Metaheuristic-Optimization","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"metaheuristic-optimization","task_name":"Metaheuristic Optimization"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"speed","method_name":"SPEED"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
