Benchmarking the Hill-Valley Evolutionary Algorithm for the GECCO 2018 Competition on Niching Methods Multimodal Optimization
This report presents benchmarking results of the latest version of the Hill-Valley Evolutionary Algorithm (HillVallEA) on the CEC2013 niching benchmark suite. The benchmarking follows restrictions required by the GECCO 2018 competition on Niching methods for Multimodal Optimization. In particular, no problem dependent parameter tuning is performed. A number of adjustments have been made to original publication of HillVallEA that are discussed in this report.

Benchmarking HillVallEA for the GECCO 2019 Competition on Multimodal Optimization
This report presents benchmarking results of the Hill-Valley Evolutionary Algorithm version 2019 (HillVallEA19) on the CEC2013 niching benchmark suite under the restrictions of the GECCO 2019 niching competition on multi…
BenchmarkingReal-valued Evolutionary Multi-modal Multi-objective Optimization by Hill-Valley Clustering
In model-based evolutionary algorithms (EAs), the underlying search distribution is adapted to the problem at hand, for example based on dependencies between decision variables. Hill-valley clustering is an adaptive nich…
ClusteringEvolutionary AlgorithmsReal-Valued Evolutionary Multi-Modal Optimization driven by Hill-Valley Clustering
Model-based evolutionary algorithms (EAs) adapt an underlying search model to features of the problem at hand, such as the linkage between problem variables. The performance of EAs often deteriorates as multiple modes in…
ClusteringEvolutionary AlgorithmsA Tight Runtime Analysis for the cGA on Jump Functions---EDAs Can Cross Fitness Valleys at No Extra Cost
We prove that the compact genetic algorithm (cGA) with hypothetical population size $\mu = \Omega(\sqrt n \log n) \cap \text{poly}(n)$ with high probability finds the optimum of any $n$-dimensional jump function with jum…
Evolutionary AlgorithmsvalidLens-descriptor guided evolutionary algorithm for optimization of complex optical systems with glass choice
Designing high-performance optical lenses entails exploring a high-dimensional, tightly constrained space of surface curvatures, glass choices, element thicknesses, and spacings. In practice, standard optimizers (e.g., g…
