Introduction To Hybrid algorithms

Computer Science Engineering

Algorithms are the building blocks of the programming industry created by the human civilization . From automating a bunch of easy tasks to predicting values from an existing datasets by recognizing patterns , algorithms are almost every where . We have successfully created solutions to some pretty difficult problems using algorithms . However , there still remains a class of problems unsolved by applied human knowledge . Hybrid algorithms address those specific types of problems . Hybrid algorithms play a prominent role in improving the search capability of algorithms. Hybridization aims to combine the advantages of each algorithm to form a hybrid algorithm, while simultaneously trying to minimize any substantial disadvantage. In general, the outcome of hybridization can usually make some improvements in terms of either computational speed or accuracy. This chapter surveys the detail overview , types and motivations behind the very existence of hybrid algorithms . Types of hybrid algorithms , the description of each type , the different classifications and subclassifications of algorithms are the main topics of discussion in this chapter .
