Per-instance automated algorithm selection (AAS) aims at leveraging the complementarity of optimization algorithms with respect to different problem types. State-of-the-art AAS methods …
The recently proposed MA-BBOB function generator provides a way to create numerical black-box benchmark problems based on the well-established BBOB suite. Initial studies on …
The selection of the most appropriate algorithm to solve a given problem instance, known as algorithm selection, is driven by the potential to capitalize on the complementary …
Automated algorithm selection has proven to be effective to improve optimization performance by using machine learning to select the best-performing algorithm for the …
When benchmarking optimization heuristics, we need to take care to avoid an algorithm exploiting biases in the construction of the used problems. One way in which this might be …
To guide the design of better iterative optimisation heuristics, it is imperative to understand how inherent structural biases within algorithm components affect the performance on a …
