5.1 Introduction

Optimization is an important concept in making decisions and in analyzing automatic systems. In mathematical terms, an optimization problem is the problem of finding the best solution from among the set of all feasible solutions. Natural language processing (NLP) is influencing a rapid acceptance of more intelligent solutions in various end-use applications based on machine learning. Machine learning in turn has close connections to optimization: many learning problems are formulated as minimization of some loss functions such as error rate and noise reduction on a training set of examples. In this way, it is related to natural language or text ...
