Evolutionary Approaches to Improving the Layouts of Instance-Spaces (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sim, K., & Hart, E. (2022, September). Evolutionary Approaches to Improving the Layouts of Instance-Spaces. Presented at 17th International Conference, PPSN 2022, Dortmund, Germany

We propose two new methods for evolving the layout of an instance-space. Specifically we design three different fitness metrics that seek to: (i) reward layouts which place instances won by the same solver close in the space; (ii) reward layouts that...
