One-Shot Decision-Making with and without Surrogates

Jakob Bossek, Pascal Kerschke, Aneta Neumann +2

One-shot decision making is required in situations in which we can evaluate a fixed number of solution candidates but do not have any possibility for further, adaptive sampling. Su…

Optimization of Chance-Constrained Submodular Functions

Benjamin Doerr, Carola Doerr, Aneta Neumann +2

Submodular optimization plays a key role in many real-world problems. In many real-world scenarios, it is also necessary to handle uncertainty, and potentially disruptive events th…

Offspring Population Size Matters when Comparing Evolutionary Algorithms with Self-Adjusting Mutation Rates

Anna Rodionova, Kirill Antonov, Arina Buzdalova +1

We analyze the performance of the 2-rate Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) with self-adjusting mutation rate control, its 3-rate counterpart, and a ~EA variant using multi…

Hyper-Parameter Tuning for the (1+(λ,λ)) GA

Nguyen Dang, Carola Doerr

It is known that the ~Genetic Algorithm (GA) with self-adjusting parameter choices achieves a linear expected optimization time on OneMax if its hyper-parameters are sui…
