OPAL: Operator-Programmed Algorithms for Landscape-Aware Black-Box Optimization
Junbo Jacob Lian, Mingyang Yu, Kaichen Ouyang +5
Black-box optimization often relies on evolutionary and swarm algorithms whose performance is highly problem dependent. We view an optimizer as a short program over a small vocabul…
