A Feature-Independent Hyper-Heuristic Approach for Solving the Knapsack Problem

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in automatic learning mechanisms and applications. The concept of hyper-heuristics, algorithms that either select among existing algorithms or generate new ones, holds high relevance in this matter.

Fuzzy adaptive parameter control of a late acceptance hyper-heuristic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A traditional iterative selection hyper-heuristic which manages a set of low level heuristics relies on two core components, a method for selecting a heuristic to apply at a given point, and a method to decide whether or not to accept the result of the ...

Hyper-heuristics for personnel scheduling domains

open access: yesArtificial Intelligence, 2022
In real-life applications problems can frequently change or require small adaptations. Manually creating and tuning algorithms for different problem domains or different versions of a problem can be cumbersome and time-consuming. In this paper we consider several important problems with high practical relevance, which are Bus Driver Scheduling ...

An apprenticeship learning hyper-heuristic for vehicle routing in HyFlex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Apprenticeship learning occurs via observations while an expert is in action. A hyper-heuristic is a search method or a learning mechanism that controls a set of low level heuristics or combines different heuristic components to generate heuristics for ...

The automatic design of hyper-heuristic framework with gene expression programming for combinatorial optimization problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Hyper-heuristic approaches aim to automate heuristic design in order to solve multiple problems instead of designing tailor-made methodologies for individual problems.

Agent State Flipping Based Hybridization of Heuristic Optimization Algorithms: A Case of Bat Algorithm and Krill Herd Hybrid Algorithm

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2021
This paper describes a unique meta-heuristic technique for hybridizing bio-inspired heuristic algorithms. The technique is based on altering the state of agents using a logistic probability function that is dependent on an agent’s fitness rank.

A multi-objective hyper-heuristic based on choice function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Hyper-heuristics are emerging methodologies that perform a search over the space of heuristics in an attempt to solve difficult computational optimization problems.

Searching the Hyper-heuristic Design Space [PDF]

open access: yesCognitive Computation, 2013
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 ...

A Classification of Hyper-heuristic Approaches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The current state of the art in hyper-heuristic research comprises a set of approaches that share the common goal of automating the design and adaptation of heuristic methods to solve hard computational search problems.

Selection hyper-heuristics in dynamic environments [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Operational Research Society, 2013
Current state-of-the-art methodologies are mostly developed for stationary optimization problems. However, many real-world problems are dynamic in nature, where different types of changes may occur over time. Population-based approaches, such as evolutionary algorithms, are frequently used for solving dynamic environment problems.
