Objectives Are All You Need: Solving Deceptive Problems Without Explicit Diversity Maintenance
Ryan Boldi, Li Ding, Lee Spector
Navigating deceptive domains has often been a challenge in machine learning due to search algorithms getting stuck at sub-optimal local optima. Many algorithms have been proposed t…
Particularity
Lee Spector, Li Ding, Ryan Boldi
We describe a design principle for adaptive systems under which adaptation is driven by particular challenges that the environment poses, as opposed to average or otherwise aggrega…
Improving Recommendation System Serendipity Through Lexicase Selection
Ryan Boldi, Aadam Lokhandwala, Edward Annatone +3
Recommender systems influence almost every aspect of our digital lives. Unfortunately, in striving to give us what we want, they end up restricting our open-mindedness. Current rec…
Can the Problem-Solving Benefits of Quality Diversity Be Obtained Without Explicit Diversity Maintenance?
Ryan Boldi, Lee Spector
When using Quality Diversity (QD) optimization to solve hard exploration or deceptive search problems, we assume that diversity is extrinsically valuable. This means that diversity…
A Static Analysis of Informed Down-Samples
Ryan Boldi, Alexander Lalejini, Thomas Helmuth +1
We present an analysis of the loss of population-level test coverage induced by different down-sampling strategies when combined with lexicase selection. We study recorded populati…
Untangling the Effects of Down-Sampling and Selection in Genetic Programming
Ryan Boldi, Ashley Bao, Martin Briesch +4
Genetic programming systems often use large training sets to evaluate the quality of candidate solutions for selection, which is often computationally expensive. Down-sampling trai…
Informed Down-Sampled Lexicase Selection: Identifying productive training cases for efficient problem solving
Ryan Boldi, Martin Briesch, Dominik Sobania +5
Genetic Programming (GP) often uses large training sets and requires all individuals to be evaluated on all training cases during selection. Random down-sampled lexicase selection…
