How to implement the simulated annealing algorithm from scratch in Python.
Simulated annealing is a stochastic global search algorithm for function optimization. In this tutorial, you will discover the simulated annealing optimization algorithm for function optimization.Īfter completing this tutorial, you will know: The likelihood of accepting worse solutions starts high at the beginning of the search and decreases with the progress of the search, giving the algorithm the opportunity to first locate the region for the global optima, escaping local optima, then hill climb to the optima itself. Unlike the hill climbing algorithm, it may accept worse solutions as the current working solution. Like the stochastic hill climbing local search algorithm, it modifies a single solution and searches the relatively local area of the search space until the local optima is located. This makes the algorithm appropriate for nonlinear objective functions where other local search algorithms do not operate well. This means that it makes use of randomness as part of the search process.
