A General Upper Bound for the Runtime of a Coevolutionary Algorithm on Impartial Combinatorial Games

Alistair Benford, Per Kristian Lehre

Due to their complex dynamics, combinatorial games are a key test case and application for algorithms that train game playing agents. Among those algorithms that train using self-p…

Overcoming Binary Adversarial Optimisation with Competitive Coevolution

Per Kristian Lehre, Shishen Lin

Co-evolutionary algorithms (CoEAs), which pair candidate designs with test cases, are frequently used in adversarial optimisation, particularly for binary test-based problems where…

Concentration Tail-Bound Analysis of Coevolutionary and Bandit Learning Algorithms

Per Kristian Lehre, Shishen Lin

Runtime analysis, as a branch of the theory of AI, studies how the number of iterations algorithms take before finding a solution (its runtime) depends on the design of the algorit…

Non-Elitist Evolutionary Multi-Objective Optimisation: Proof-of-Principle Results

Zimin Liang, Miqing Li, Per Kristian Lehre

Elitism, which constructs the new population by preserving best solutions out of the old population and newly-generated solutions, has been a default way for population update sinc…

Runtime Analysis of Competitive co-Evolutionary Algorithms for Maximin Optimisation of a Bilinear Function

Per Kristian Lehre

Co-evolutionary algorithms have a wide range of applications, such as in hardware design, evolution of strategies for board games, and patching software bugs. However, these algori…

Self-adaptation in non-Elitist Evolutionary Algorithms on Discrete Problems with Unknown Structure

Brendan Case, Per Kristian Lehre

A key challenge to make effective use of evolutionary algorithms is to choose appropriate settings for their parameters. However, the appropriate parameter setting generally depend…
