The book "Learning and Intelligent Optimization: Designing, Implementing and Analyzing Effective Heuristics" offers a comprehensive analysis of the interfaces between efficient optimization techniques and learning methods. It is based on the contributions from the third international conference on this topic, which took place in Trento, Italy. The conference attracted significant interest, as reflected in the high number of submissions. The topics covered range from machine learning to artificial intelligence, as well as mathematical programming and algorithms for complex optimization problems. The book is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners involved in the development and analysis of heuristics to find effective solutions for challenging optimization challenges.
