Artificial Intelligence has revolutionized nearly every scientific and industrial discipline, from healthcare and finance to autonomous systems and intelligent robotics. At the core of these intelligent systems lies one of the most important disciplines in computer science—optimization. While Volume 1 established the mathematical foundations, linear programming, convex optimization, and gradient-based learning techniques, Volume 2 takes readers into the advanced world of evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, reinforcement learning optimization, hybrid optimization methods, and emerging AI optimization technologies.

Optimization Techniques in Artificial Intelligence (Vol-2) is a comprehensive continuation that explores optimization beyond traditional mathematical programming. It introduces readers to nature-inspired algorithms, population-based search methods, neural network optimization, constrained optimization, multi-objective optimization, and practical AI optimization frameworks used in modern research and industry.

This volume is carefully designed to connect optimization theory with cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence applications, enabling readers to understand how intelligent systems solve complex real-world problems where classical optimization techniques alone are insufficient.

Whether optimizing deep neural networks, autonomous robots, recommendation engines, financial portfolios, healthcare systems, or foundation models, this book provides the mathematical principles, algorithmic understanding, and practical insights required by today’s AI professionals.
