Whale Optimization Algorithm

The Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) is a nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm mimicking humpback whale hunting strategies, primarily used to solve optimization problems across diverse fields. Current research focuses on improving WOA's efficiency and effectiveness, including hybridizing it with other algorithms (e.g., genetic algorithms, support vector regression) to enhance performance in applications like clustering, feature selection, and parameter optimization for machine learning models. This algorithm's ability to efficiently handle large datasets and complex problems makes it a valuable tool for various scientific and engineering applications, particularly in areas dealing with big data analysis and resource optimization.
