Assessing hyper-heuristic performance [PDF]
Limited attention has been paid to assessing the generality performance of hyper-heuristics. The performance of hyper-heuristics has been predominately assessed in terms of optimality which is not ideal as the aim of hyper-heuristics is not to be competitive with state of the art approaches but rather to raise the level of generality, i.e.

Nested Markov chain hyper-heuristic (NMHH): a hybrid hyper-heuristic framework for single-objective continuous problems [PDF]
This article introduces a new hybrid hyper-heuristic framework that deals with single-objective continuous optimization problems. This approach employs a nested Markov chain on the base level in the search for the best-performing operators and their ...

A Novel Cooperative Multi-Stage Hyper-Heuristic for Combination Optimization Problems
A hyper-heuristic algorithm is a general solution framework that adaptively selects the optimizer to address complex problems. A classical hyper-heuristic framework consists of two levels, including the high-level heuristic and a set of low-level ...

Searching the Hyper-heuristic Design Space [PDF]
We extend a previous mathematical formulation of hyper-heuristics to reflect the emerging generalization of the concept. We show that this leads naturally to a recursive definition of hyper-heuristics and to a division of responsibility that is suggestive of a blackboard architecture, in which individual heuristics annotate a shared workspace with ...

Hyper-heuristic decision tree induction [PDF]
Hyper-heuristics are increasingly used in function and combinatorial optimization. Rather than attempt to solve a problem using a fixed heuristic, a hyper-heuristic approach attempts to find a combination of heuristics that solve a problem (and in turn may be directly suitable for a class of problem instances).

Beyond Hyper-Heuristics: A Squared Hyper-Heuristic Model for Solving Job Shop Scheduling Problems
Hyper-heuristics (HHs) stand as a relatively recent approach to solving optimization problems. There are different kinds of HHs. One of them deals with how low-level heuristics must be combined to deliver an improved solution to a set of problem ...

Practitioners often need to solve real world problems for which no custom search algorithms exist. In these cases they tend to use general-purpose solvers that have no guarantee to perform well on their specific problem. The relatively new field of hyper-heuristics provides an alternative to the potential pit-falls of general-purpose solvers, by ...
