Comparing Algorithm Selection Approaches on Black-Box Optimization Problems

Ana Kostovska, Anja Jankovic, Diederick Vermetten +3

Performance complementarity of solvers available to tackle black-box optimization problems gives rise to the important task of algorithm selection (AS). Automated AS approaches can…

Self-Adjusting Weighted Expected Improvement for Bayesian Optimization

Carolin Benjamins, Elena Raponi, Anja Jankovic +2

Bayesian Optimization (BO) is a class of surrogate-based, sample-efficient algorithms for optimizing black-box problems with small evaluation budgets. The BO pipeline itself is hig…

Heuristic Approaches to Obtain Low-Discrepancy Point Sets via Subset Selection

François Clément, Carola Doerr, Luís Paquete

Building upon the exact methods presented in our earlier work [J. Complexity, 2022], we introduce a heuristic approach for the star discrepancy subset selection problem. The heuris…
