Intro to Algorithms
Exploitation refers to the process of leveraging information or resources in order to make progress towards an optimal solution. In the context of local search heuristics and metaheuristics, exploitation focuses on refining and improving current solutions by exploring their immediate neighborhoods, as opposed to exploring entirely new areas of the solution space. This approach is essential in finding high-quality solutions efficiently and effectively.
congrats on reading the definition of exploitation. now let's actually learn it.
