Heuristic — local search
▶ Open interactive explainer →Tabu Search
| Alias | tabu_search |
| Type | Heuristic — local search |
| Auto-seeds from | nn (nearest neighbor) |
Description
Local search with short-term memory. Maintains a tabu list of recently visited solutions (or recently applied moves) to prevent cycling. At each step the algorithm selects the best non-tabu neighbor of the current solution, even if that neighbor is worse — allowing escape from local optima. Entries age out of the tabu list after a fixed tenure.
Auto-expands to pipeline(nn, tabu_search).
