Designing Air Flow with Surrogate-assisted Phenotypic Niching

Alexander Hagg, Dominik Wilde, Alexander Asteroth +1

In complex, expensive optimization domains we often narrowly focus on finding high performing solutions, instead of expanding our understanding of the domain itself. But what if we…

An Analysis of Phenotypic Diversity in Multi-Solution Optimization

Alexander Hagg, Mike Preuss, Alexander Asteroth +1

More and more, optimization methods are used to find diverse solution sets. We compare solution diversity in multi-objective optimization, multimodal optimization, and quality dive…

Explorative Data Analysis of Time Series based AlgorithmFeatures of CMA-ES Variants

Jacob de Nobel, Hao Wang, Thomas Bäck

In this study, we analyze behaviours of the well-known CMA-ES by extracting the time-series features on its dynamic strategy parameters. An extensive experiment was conducted on tw…

A Modular Hybridization of Particle Swarm Optimization and Differential Evolution

Rick Boks, Hao Wang, Thomas Bäck

In swarm intelligence, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Evolution (DE) have been successfully applied in many optimization tasks, and a large number of variants,…
