  text: Exploratory Landscape Analysis subsumes a number of techniques employed to
    obtain knowledge about the properties of an unknown optimization problem, especially
    insofar as these properties are important for the performance of optimization
    algorithms. Where in a first attempt, one could rely on high-level features designed
    by experts, we approach the problem from a different angle here, namely by using
    relatively cheap low-level computer generated features. Interestingly, very few
    features are needed to separate the BBOB problem groups and also for relating
    a problem to high-level, expert designed features, paving the way for automatic
    algorithm selection.
