Fitness approximation

Fitness approximation aims to approximate the objective or fitness functions in evolutionary optimization by building up machine learning models based on data collected from numerical simulations or physical experiments. The machine learning models for fitness approximation are also known as meta-models or surrogates, and evolutionary optimization based on approximated fitness evaluations are also known as surrogate-assisted evolutionary approximation. Fitness approximation in evolutionary optimization can be seen as a sub-area of data-driven evolutionary optimization. (Wikipedia).

Approximating Functions in a Metric Space

Approximations are common in many areas of mathematics from Taylor series to machine learning. In this video, we will define what is meant by a best approximation and prove that a best approximation exists in a metric space. Chapters 0:00 - Examples of Approximation 0:46 - Best Aproximati

Minimax Approximation and the Exchange Algorithm

In this video we'll discuss minimax approximation. This is a method of approximating functions by minimisation of the infinity (uniform) norm. The exchange algorithm is an iterative method of finding the approximation which minimises the infinity norm. FAQ : How do you make these animatio

Approximation & Estimation | Numbers | Maths | FuseSchool

An approximation is anything that is similar, but not exactly the same as something else. For example, if you were to say a 57 minute journey would take “about an hour”, you would be approximating. A value can be approximated by rounding, usually to a value that it is easier to work with
