Hyper-Heuristic

A hyper-heuristic is a high-level problem-solving strategy that helps in designing or selecting simpler rules (heuristics) to tackle complex problems across various domains. Instead of being specific to one problem, hyper-heuristics operate on a broader scale, making them adaptable. They evaluate and combine several heuristics to find the most effective approach for solving particular challenges, such as scheduling or resource allocation. By automating the process of finding the right heuristic, hyper-heuristics enhance efficiency and effectiveness in decision-making without needing deep expertise in every specific area.
