Integer Natural Evolution Strategies
Jacob de Nobel, Diederick Vermetten, Hao Wang +3
While contemporary Evolution Strategies handle integer optimization problems effectively, their adaptation mechanism is grounded in -based Gaussian models, which are not na…
Performance comparison of optimization methods on variational quantum algorithms
Xavier Bonet-Monroig, Hao Wang, Diederick Vermetten +5
Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) offer a promising path toward using near-term quantum hardware for applications in academic and industrial research. These algorithms aim to f…
IOHexperimenter: Benchmarking Platform for Iterative Optimization Heuristics
Jacob de Nobel, Furong Ye, Diederick Vermetten +3
We present IOHexperimenter, the experimentation module of the IOHprofiler project, which aims at providing an easy-to-use and highly customizable toolbox for benchmarking iterative…
Automated Configuration of Genetic Algorithms by Tuning for Anytime Performance
Furong Ye, Carola Doerr, Hao Wang +1
Finding the best configuration of algorithms' hyperparameters for a given optimization problem is an important task in evolutionary computation. We compare in this work the results…
KECRS: Towards Knowledge-Enriched Conversational Recommendation System
Tong Zhang, Yong Liu, Peixiang Zhong +3
The chit-chat-based conversational recommendation systems (CRS) provide item recommendations to users through natural language interactions. To better understand user's intentions,…
Quantifying the Impact of Boundary Constraint Handling Methods on Differential Evolution
Rick Boks, Anna V. Kononova, Hao Wang
Constraint handling is one of the most influential aspects of applying metaheuristics to real-world applications, which can hamper the search progress if treated improperly. In thi…
