Abstract

This project aims to study and implement the metaheuristic optimization algorithm called Language Education Optimization (LEO), inspired by the process of teaching foreign languages ¿¿in which a teacher teaches a student a certain language and its rules, and its subsequent use to adjust pre-trained weights of neural networks, exploring additional regions of the search space and improving its effectiveness.
