This powerful “master algorithm” is at the heart of work postulated by Pedro Domingos, author of The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World.

Next, we will study algorithms for NP-hard problems whose solutions are guaranteed to be within some approximation factor of the best possible solutions. Such algorithms are often quite efficient and ...

The new algorithms have different characteristics. bSB is optimized and named for speed of operation, and finds good approximate solutions in a short time.

The algorithms are called “evolutionary” because the characteristics of evolution – mutation, recombination and selection – form the basis of their search for promising solutions.
