INTRODUCTION  \nIn addressing the growing complexity of real-world challenges and the need for efficient solutions for large datasets, the demand for advanced models and algorithms has risen, both in optimization and machine learning. A hybrid algorithm can combine optimization and machine learning techniques is an effective strategy that uses the advantages of both methodologies to provide a powerful framework for tackling complex problems. This fusion improves decision-making by blending optimization into machine learning and vice versa. Thereby, a hybrid algorithm can leverage optimization capabilities to guide the learning process and enhance the accuracy and efficiency of decision-making. This integration empowers the algorithm to use mathematical optimization and learning, resulting in better decision-making [2]–[4] .  \nThe authors are grateful to the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT, Portugal) for financial support through national funds FCT/MCTES (PIDDAC) to CeDRI (UIDB/05757/2020 and UIDP/05757/2020), Algoritmi (UIDB/00319/2020) and SusTEC (LA/P/0007/2021) . Beatriz Flamia Azevedo is supported by FCT Grant Reference SFRH/BD/07427/2021 .  \nThis paper describes and explores the main characteristics of numerical optimization and machine learning methods. Furthermore, a deep and systematic literature review looks at how these methods have evolved and analyze how they can be combined to overcome challenges. The goal is to find ways to make them work better together, like using ideas from one method to improve the other. Although the work presents the different types of machine learning in detail, the literature review will be restricted to algorithms that perform the classification or clustering task.  \nIn this way, this paper makes a significant contribution by systematically identifying and analyzing the existing knowledge on hybrid algorithms that combine optimization and machine learning. It finds gaps in research and suggests future directions. Additionally, the paper presents a comprehensive SWOT analysis of the top ten most cited algorithms in the collected database. Consequently, the paper offers a thorough understanding of the characteristics of these algorithms, serving as a ","cbCaiiXF1HJWYnvX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiXF1HJWYnvX","pdf",77007,1,2,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n# Methodology and Data Base\n# Summary","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the paper address with hybrid optimization and machine learning approaches?\",\"answer\":\"It targets clustering and classification problems in complex real-world settings, where combining optimization and learning can improve decision-making quality.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the literature collected and analyzed in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study conducts a historical survey since 1970 and uses a logic search across Scopus, IEEE, and WoS with constraints on year, language, and publisher type, followed by systematic bibliometric analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the SWOT analysis cover in the paper?\",\"answer\":\"It evaluates the top ten most cited algorithms from the collected database by examining strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to hybrid approaches.\"}]","Hybrid Approaches to Optimization and Machine Learning Methods -
