Swarm Intelligence and Robotics
Premature convergence occurs when a swarm optimization algorithm converges to a suboptimal solution too quickly, often before fully exploring the solution space. This can hinder the algorithm's ability to find better solutions and reduce its overall effectiveness, as it may settle for a local optimum rather than discovering a global optimum through iterative exploration.
congrats on reading the definition of premature convergence. now let's actually learn it.
