TLDR
The Taboo search framework provides a simple and effective procedure for solving global optimization problems involving continuous functions and can be successfully used for large-scale process optimization.Abstract:
The Taboo search framework provides a simple and effective procedure for solving global optimization problems involving continuous functions. This novel algorithm handles both constrained and unconstrained functions very well and can be successfully used for large-scale process optimization.read more

Tabu search for global optimization of continuous functions with application to phase equilibrium calculations
Y. S. Teh,Gade Pandu Rangaiah +1 more
TL;DR: A version of TS, namely, enhanced continuous TS (ECTS), is tried for benchmark test functions having multiple minima and then evaluated for phase equilibrium calculations, showing that both TS and GA have high reliability in locating the global minimum, and that TS converges faster than GA thus reducing the computational time and number of function evaluations.

Training neural nets with the reactive tabu search
TL;DR: The task of training subsymbolic systems is considered as a combinatorial optimization problem and solved with the heuristic scheme of the reactive tabu search (RTS), which is applicable to nondifferentiable functions, is robust with respect to the random initialization, and effective in continuing the search after local minima.
