  text: Evolutionary algorithms have been shown to obtain good solutions for complex
    optimization problems in static and dynamic environments. It is important to understand
    the behaviour of evolutionary algorithms for complex optimization problems that
    also involve dynamic and/or stochastic components in a systematic way in order
    to further increase their applicability to real-world problems. We investigate
    the node weighted traveling salesperson problem (W-TSP), which provides an abstraction
    of a wide range of weighted TSP problems, in dynamic settings. In the dynamic
    setting of the problem, items that have to be collected as part of a TSP tour
    change over time. We first present a dynamic setup for the dynamic W-TSP parameterized
    by different types of changes that are applied to the set of items to be collected
    when traversing the tour. Our first experimental investigations study the impact
    of such changes on resulting optimized tours in order to provide structural insights
    of optimization solutions. Afterwards, we investigate simple mutation-based evolutionary
    algorithms and study the impact of the mutation operators and the use of populations
    with dealing with the dynamic changes to the node weights of the problem.

  text: Quality diversity (QD) is a branch of evolutionary computation that gained
    increasing interest in recent years. The Map-Elites QD approach defines a feature
    space, i.e., a partition of the search space, and stores the best solution for
    each cell of this space. We study a simple QD algorithm in the context of pseudo-Boolean
    optimisation on the "number of ones" feature space, where the ith cell stores
    the best solution amongst those with a number of ones in [(i - 1)k, ik - 1]. Here
    k is a granularity parameter 1 {$\leq$} k {$\leq$} n+1. We give a tight bound
    on the expected time until all cells are covered for arbitrary fitness functions
    and for all k and analyse the expected optimisation time of QD on OneMax and other
    problems whose structure aligns favourably with the feature space. On combinatorial
    problems we show that QD finds a (1 - 1/e)-approximation when maximising any monotone
    sub-modular function with a single uniform cardinality constraint efficiently.
    Defining the feature space as the number of connected components of a connected
    graph, we show that QD finds a minimum spanning tree in expected polynomial time.

  text: 'Generating new instances via evolutionary methods is commonly used to create
    new benchmarking data-sets, with a focus on attempting to cover an instance-space
    as completely as possible. Recent approaches have exploited Quality-Diversity
    methods to evolve sets of instances that are both diverse and discriminatory with
    respect to a portfolio of solvers, but these methods can be challenging when attempting
    to find diversity in a high-dimensional feature-space. We address this issue by
    training a model based on Principal Component Analysis on existing instances to
    create a low-dimension projection of the high-dimension feature-vectors, and then
    apply Novelty Search directly in the new low-dimension space. We conduct experiments
    to evolve diverse and discriminatory instances of Knapsack Problems, comparing
    the use of Novelty Search in the original feature-space to using Novelty Search
    in a low-dimensional projection, and repeat over a given set of dimensions. We
    find that the methods are complementary: if treated as an ensemble, they collectively
    provide increased coverage of the space. Specifically, searching for novelty in
    a low-dimension space contributes 56% of the filled regions of the space, while
    searching directly in the feature-space covers the remaining 44%.'

  text: 'Most runtime analyses of randomised search heuristics focus on the expected
    number of function evaluations to find a unique global optimum. We ask a fundamental
    question: if additional search points are declared optimal, or declared as desirable
    target points, do these additional optima speed up evolutionary algorithms? More
    formally, we analyse the expected hitting time of a target set OPT{$\cup$}S where
    S is a set of non-optimal search points and OPT is the set of optima and compare
    it to the expected hitting time of OPT. We show that the answer to our question
    depends on the number and placement of search points in S. For all black-box algorithms
    and all fitness functions with polynomial expected optimisation times we show
    that, if additional optima are placed randomly, even an exponential number of
    optima has a negligible effect on the expected optimisation time. Considering
    Hamming balls around all global optima gives an easier target for some algorithms
    and functions and can shift the phase transition with respect to offspring population
    sizes in the (1,{$\lambda$}) EA on OneMax. However, for the one-dimensional Ising
    model the time to reach Hamming balls of radius (1/2-{$ϵ$})n around optima does
    not reduce the asymptotic expected optimisation time in the worst case. Finally,
    on functions where search trajectories typically join in a single search point,
    turning one search point into an optimum drastically reduces the expected optimisation
    time.'

  text: We contribute to the efficient approximation of the Pareto-set for the classical
    NP-hard multi-objective minimum spanning tree problem (moMST) adopting evolutionary
    computation. More precisely, by building upon preliminary work, we analyse the
    neighborhood structure of Pareto-optimal spanning trees and design several highly
    biased sub-graph-based mutation operators founded on the gained insights. In a
    nutshell, these operators replace (un)connected sub-trees of candidate solutions
    with locally optimal sub-trees. The latter (biased) step is realized by applying
    Kruskal’s single-objective MST algorithm to a weighted sum scalarization of a
    sub-graph.We prove runtime complexity results for the introduced operators and
    investigate the desirable Pareto-beneficial property. This property states that
    mutants cannot be dominated by their parent. Moreover, we perform an extensive
    experimental benchmark study to showcase the operator’s practical suitability.
    Our results confirm that the subgraph based operators beat baseline algorithms
    from the literature even with severely restricted computational budget in terms
    of function evaluations on four different classes of complete graphs with different
    shapes of the Pareto-front.

  text: 'Classic automated algorithm selection (AS) for (combinatorial) optimization
    problems heavily relies on so-called instance features, i.e., numerical characteristics
    of the problem at hand ideally extracted with computationally low-demanding routines.
    For the traveling salesperson problem (TSP) a plethora of features have been suggested.
    Most of these features are, if at all, only normalized imprecisely raising the
    issue of feature values being strongly affected by the instance size. Such artifacts
    may have detrimental effects on algorithm selection models. We propose a normalization
    for two feature groups which stood out in multiple AS studies on the TSP: (a)
    features based on a minimum spanning tree (MST) and (b) nearest neighbor relationships
    of the input instance. To this end we theoretically derive minimum and maximum
    values for properties of MSTs and k-nearest neighbor graphs (NNG) of Euclidean
    graphs. We analyze the differences in feature space between normalized versions
    of these features and their unnormalized counterparts. Our empirical investigations
    on various TSP benchmark sets point out that the feature scaling succeeds in eliminating
    the effect of the instance size. A proof-of-concept AS-study shows promising results:
    models trained with normalized features tend to outperform those trained with
    the respective vanilla features.'

  text: 'Automated Algorithm Configuration (AAC) usually takes a global perspective:
    it identifies a parameter configuration for an (optimization) algorithm that maximizes
    a performance metric over a set of instances. However, the optimal choice of parameters
    strongly depends on the instance at hand and should thus be calculated on a per-instance
    basis. We explore the potential of Per-Instance Algorithm Configuration (PIAC)
    by using Reinforcement Learning (RL). To this end, we propose a novel PIAC approach
    that is based on deep neural networks. We apply it to predict configurations for
    the Lin\textendash Kernighan heuristic (LKH) for the Traveling Salesperson Problem
    (TSP) individually for every single instance. To train our PIAC approach, we create
    a large set of 100000 TSP instances with 2000 nodes each \textemdash currently
    the largest benchmark set to the best of our knowledge. We compare our approach
    to the state-of-the-art AAC method Sequential Model-based Algorithm Configuration
    (SMAC). The results show that our PIAC approach outperforms this baseline on both
    the newly created instance set and established instance sets.'

  text: Generating instances of different properties is key to algorithm selection
    methods that differentiate between the performance of different solvers for a
    given combinatorial optimization problem. A wide range of methods using evolutionary
    computation techniques has been introduced in recent years. With this paper, we
    contribute to this area of research by providing a new approach based on quality
    diversity (QD) that is able to explore the whole feature space. QD algorithms
    allow to create solutions of high quality within a given feature space by splitting
    it up into boxes and improving solution quality within each box. We use our QD
    approach for the generation of TSP instances to visualize and analyze the variety
    of instances differentiating various TSP solvers and compare it to instances generated
    by established approaches from the literature.

  text: In multimodal multi-objective optimization (MMMOO), the focus is not solely
    on convergence in objective space, but rather also on explicitly ensuring diversity
    in decision space. We illustrate why commonly used diversity measures are not
    entirely appropriate for this task and propose a sophisticated basin-based evaluation
    (BBE) method. Also, BBE variants are developed, capturing the anytime behavior
    of algorithms. The set of BBE measures is tested by means of an algorithm configuration
    study. We show that these new measures also transfer properties of the well-established
    hypervolume (HV) indicator to the domain of MMMOO, thus also accounting for objective
    space convergence. Moreover, we advance MMMOO research by providing insights into
    the multimodal performance of the considered algorithms. Specifically, algorithms
    exploiting local structures are shown to outperform classical evolutionary multi-objective
    optimizers regarding the BBE variants and respective trade-off with HV.

  text: Recently different evolutionary computation approaches have been developed
    that generate sets of high quality diverse solutions for a given optimisation
    problem. Many studies have considered diversity 1) as a mean to explore niches
    in behavioural space (quality diversity) or 2) to increase the structural differences
    of solutions (evolutionary diversity optimisation). In this study, we introduce
    a co-evolutionary algorithm to simultaneously explore the two spaces for the multi-component
    traveling thief problem. The results show the capability of the co-evolutionary
    algorithm to achieve significantly higher diversity compared to the baseline evolutionary
    diversity algorithms from the literature.

  text: Due to the rise of continuous data-generating applications, analyzing data
    streams has gained increasing attention over the past decades. A core research
    area in stream data is stream classification, which categorizes or detects data
    points within an evolving stream of observations. Areas of stream classification
    are diverse\textemdash ranging, e.g., from monitoring sensor data to analyzing
    a wide range of (social) media applications. Research in stream classification
    is related to developing methods that adapt to the changing and potentially volatile
    data stream. It focuses on individual aspects of the stream classification pipeline,
    e.g., designing suitable algorithm architectures, an efficient train and test
    procedure, or detecting so-called concept drifts. As a result of the many different
    research questions and strands, the field is challenging to grasp, especially
    for beginners. This survey explores, summarizes, and categorizes work within the
    domain of stream classification and identifies core research threads over the
    past few years. It is structured based on the stream classification process to
    facilitate coordination within this complex topic, including common application
    scenarios and benchmarking data sets. Thus, both newcomers to the field and experts
    who want to widen their scope can gain (additional) insight into this research
    area and find starting points and pointers to more in-depth literature on specific
    issues and research directions in the field.

  text: Hardness of Multi-Objective (MO) continuous optimization problems results
    from an interplay of various problem characteristics, e. g. the degree of multi-modality.
    We present a benchmark study of classical and diversity focused optimizers on
    multi-modal MO problems based on automated algorithm configuration. We show the
    large effect of the latter and investigate the trade-off between convergence in
    objective space and diversity in decision space.
