Adaptive algorithm Machine Learning; Computer Science Fundamentals
noun phrase
Definition: An algorithm that changes its behavior during execution on the basis of a predefined reward mechanism or criterion, adjusting itself to improve performance under changing conditions [Bakanach 2023/2024].
Example in context: “As AdaptiveGreedy is the first adaptive algorithm for the problem, we compare with non-adaptive alternatives like Greedy 3 and Density Greedy 4 for different values of the budget.” [Amanatidis et al. 2022]
