The Connection of Local Search and Learning
Meinolf Sellmann, Brown University, USA
Learning for search is an area of increasing interest. Especially in the realm of local search, there exist a number of interesting techniques to boost search performance by learning. Conversely, as an optimization technique, local search can also be exploited for learning purposes. We investigate a third connection, namely to what extent local search methods should be viewed as learning algorithms.
