Abstract

The Automated Design Competition in GECCO'24 aims to find intelligent 3D agents that perform better in specific environments. To address this problem, this technical report proposes a Cascaded Structure and Parameter Optimization (CaSPO) framework. After constructing an initial population by using prior knowledge, CaSPO optimizes the mechanical structure, control system, and parameters sequentially to find good-performance agents. Experiments in different tasks and environments verify the effectiveness of the proposed CaSPO framework.

Variations of biogeography-based optimization and Markov analysis

Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a new evolutionary algorithm that is inspired by biogeography. Previous work has shown that BBO is a competitive optimization algorithm, and it demonstrates good performance on various benchmark functions and ...
Backtracking Search Optimization Algorithm for numerical optimization problems

This paper introduces the Backtracking Search Optimization Algorithm (BSA), a new evolutionary algorithm (EA) for solving real-valued numerical optimization problems. EAs are popular stochastic search algorithms that are widely used to solve non-linear, ...
A bilevel optimization approach to automated parameter tuning
GECCO '14: Proceedings of the 2014 Annual Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation

Many of the modern optimization algorithms contain a number of parameters that require tuning before the algorithm can be applied to a particular class of optimization problems. A proper choice of parameters may have a substantial effect on the accuracy ...
