Frequency Fitness Assignment: Optimization without Bias for Good Solutions can be Efficient
Thomas Weise, Zhize Wu, Xinlu Li +2
A fitness assignment process transforms the features (such as the objective value) of a candidate solution to a scalar fitness, which then is the basis for selection. Under Frequen…
Benchmarking in Optimization: Best Practice and Open Issues
Thomas Bartz-Beielstein, Carola Doerr, Daan van den Berg +14
This survey compiles ideas and recommendations from more than a dozen researchers with different backgrounds and from different institutes around the world. Promoting best practice…
Frequency Fitness Assignment: Making Optimization Algorithms Invariant under Bijective Transformations of the Objective Function Value
Thomas Weise, Zhize Wu, Xinlu Li +1
Under Frequency Fitness Assignment (FFA), the fitness corresponding to an objective value is its encounter frequency in fitness assignment steps and is subject to minimization. FFA…
An Improved Generic Bet-and-Run Strategy for Speeding Up Stochastic Local Search
Thomas Weise, Zijun Wu, Markus Wagner
A commonly used strategy for improving optimization algorithms is to restart the algorithm when it is believed to be trapped in an inferior part of the search space. Building on th…
