Adaptive landscape analysis
Anja Jankovič, Carola Doerr · Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference Companion · 2019
Black-box optimization of a previously unknown problem can often prove to be a demanding task. In order for the optimization process to be as efficient as possible, one must first recognize the nature of the problem at hand and then proceed to choose the algorithm exhibiting the best performance for that type of problem. The problem characterization is done via underlying fitness landscape features, which allow to identify similarities and differences between various problems.
