Analysis of modular CMA-ES on strict box-constrained problems in the SBOX-COST benchmarking suite
Diederick Vermetten, Manuel López-Ibáñez, Olaf Mersmann +2
Box-constraints limit the domain of decision variables and are common in real-world optimization problems, for example, due to physical, natural or spatial limitations. Consequentl…
Experimental Investigation and Evaluation of Model-based Hyperparameter Optimization
Eva Bartz, Martin Zaefferer, Olaf Mersmann +1
Machine learning algorithms such as random forests or xgboost are gaining more importance and are increasingly incorporated into production processes in order to enable comprehensi…
Resource Planning for Hospitals Under Special Consideration of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Optimization and Sensitivity Analysis
Thomas Bartz-Beielstein, Marcel Dröscher, Alpar Gür +9
Crises like the COVID-19 pandemic pose a serious challenge to health-care institutions. They need to plan the resources required for handling the increased load, for instance, hosp…
Hospital Capacity Planning Using Discrete Event Simulation Under Special Consideration of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Thomas Bartz-Beielstein, Frederik Rehbach, Olaf Mersmann +1
We present a resource-planning tool for hospitals under special consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic, called babsim.hospital. It provides many advantages for crisis teams, e.g.,…
Optimization of High-dimensional Simulation Models Using Synthetic Data
Thomas Bartz-Beielstein, Eva Bartz, Frederik Rehbach +1
Simulation models are valuable tools for resource usage estimation and capacity planning. In many situations, reliable data is not available. We introduce the BuB simulator, which…
COCO: A Platform for Comparing Continuous Optimizers in a Black-Box Setting
Nikolaus Hansen, Anne Auger, Raymond Ros +3
We introduce COCO, an open source platform for Comparing Continuous Optimizers in a black-box setting. COCO aims at automatizing the tedious and repetitive task of benchmarking num…
