Abstract
A hyper-heuristic for the one dimensional bin packing problem is presented that uses an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) to evolve a set of attributes that characterise a problem instance. The EA evolves divisions of variable quantity and dimension that represent ranges of a bin’s capacity and are used to train a k-nearest neighbour algorithm. Once trained the classifier selects a single deterministic heuristic to solve each one of a large set of unseen problem instances. The evolved classifier is shown to achieve results significantly better than are obtained by any of the constituent heuristics when used in isolation
