The proposed approach involves constructing a lightweight qualitative meta-model by sub-sampling data instances and then using this meta-model to carry out the feature selection task. We define \"Approximation Usefulness\" to capture the necessary conditions that allow the meta-model to lead the evolutionary computations to the correct maximum of the fitness function. Based on our procedure we create CHCQX a Qualitative approXimations variant of the GA-based algorithm CHC (Cross generational elitist selection, Heterogeneous recombination and Cataclysmic mutation). We show that CHCQX converges faster to feature subset solutions of significantly higher accuracy, particularly for large datasets with over 100K instances. We also demonstrate the applicability of our approach to Swarm Intelligence (SI), with results of PSOQX, a qualitative approximation adaptation of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method.

Both are parameterizable unitary transformations executed on a quantum machine/simulator and whose parameters are iteratively optimized using a classical device to optimize the problem's expectation value. To do so, in each QAOA iteration, most of the literature uses a quantum machine/simulator to measure the QAOA outcomes. However, this poses a severe bottleneck considering that quantum machines are hardly constrained (e.g. long queuing, limited qubits, etc.), likewise, quantum simulation also induces exponentially-increasing memory usage when dealing with large problems requiring more qubits. These limitations make today's QAOA implementation impractical since it is hard to obtain good solutions with a reasonably-acceptable time/resources. Considering these facts, this work presents a new approach with two main contributions, including (I) removing the need for accessing quantum devices or large-sized classical machines during the QAOA optimization phase, and (II) ensuring that when dealing with some k-bounded pseudo-Boolean problems, optimizing the exact problem's expectation value can be done in polynomial time using a classical computer.","PeriodicalId":422029,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Companion Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126430211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent advances in genetic programming allow it to generate general purpose programs similar to those humans write, but require specifications in the form of extensive, labeled training data, a barrier to using it for user-driven synthesis. Here we describe the prototype of a human-driven genetic programming system that can be used to synthesize programs from scratch. In order to address the issue of extensive training data, we draw inspiration from counterexample-driven genetic programming, allowing the user to initially provide only a few training cases and asking the user to verify the correctness of potential solutions on automatically generated potential counterexample cases. We present anecdotal experiments showing that our prototype can solve a variety of easy program synthesis problems entirely based on user input.","PeriodicalId":422029,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Companion Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125630351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior work indicated that the optimized collection concentrates in a subspace of the genotype space called the Elite Hypervolume. This suggested that if the Elite Hypervolume is convex, perturbing a solution (elite) towards the direction of another elite would create a solution inside the subspace. To accelerate QD optimization, the IsoLineDD operator was proposed which perturbs a solution along the line that connects it with another elite, both in the forward and the backward direction (i.e., towards and away from another elite), with equal probability. In this work, we hypothesize that the backward direction is mostly useful for exploration, at the beginning of QD optimization, rather than exploitation. To validate our hypothesis, we create a dynamic IsoLineDD operator that modifies its probability of creating solutions in the forward and backward directions, respectively. Our experiments and analysis in the robotic arm repertoire and Rastrigin problems invalidate this hypothesis by demonstrating that the forward and backward directions of vanilla IsoLineDD equally contribute to the optimization of the collection.","PeriodicalId":422029,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Companion Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134206889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They leverage large amounts of unlabeled data to help pretrain models by learning patterns implicit in the data. Recently, new SSL techniques for tabular data have been developed, using new pretext tasks that typically aim to reconstruct a corrupted input sample and yielding models which are, ideally, robust feature transforms. In this paper, we pose the research question of whether genetic programming is capable of leveraging data processed using SSL methods to improve its performance. We test this hypothesis by assuming different amounts of labeled data on seven different datasets (five OpenML benchmarking datasets and two real-world datasets). The obtained results show that in almost all problems, standard genetic programming is not able to capitalize on the learned representations, producing results equal to or worse than using the labeled partitions.","PeriodicalId":422029,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Companion Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133955421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, gradient-based optimizers can efficiently tune parametric functions by exploring the search space locally. While there is a large amount of research on the combination of evolutionary algorithms and local search (LS) strategies, few of these studies deal with GP. To get the best from both worlds, we propose embedding learnable parameters in GP programs and combining the standard GP evolutionary approach with a gradient-based refinement of the individuals employing the Adam optimizer. We devise two different algorithms that differ in how these parameters are shared in the expression operators and report experimental results performed on a set of standard real-life application datasets. Our findings show that the proposed gradient-based LS approach can be effectively combined with GP to outperform the original algorithm.","PeriodicalId":422029,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Companion Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132899951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a dataset of optimal parameter values we collected on different instances of W-model benchmark problem, we trained a machine learning model capable of suggesting parameter values for the (1 + (λ, λ)) genetic algorithm. The results of our experiments show that the machine learning model is able to capture important landscape features and recommend algorithm parameters based on this information.

In this study, we propose a method for measuring similarity between metaheuristic-algorithms.

The method takes any two metaheuristic-algorithms and decomposes them into their heuristic components whilst taking note of the order of execution of the heuristics. Features of the heuristics are then extracted, and finally a feature-based similarity calculation, that also considers the position of the heuristics, is performed to obtain an overall similarity score between the two metaheuristic-algorithms. The method incorporates more structural information in the similarity calculation than previous component-wise similarity measures and can be extended to cover a comprehensive set of metaheuristic components.","PeriodicalId":422029,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Companion Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133191458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
