  text: "Algorithm configuration (AC) is concerned with the automated search of the\r\nmost
    suitable parameter configuration of a parametrized algorithm. There is\r\ncurrently
    a wide variety of AC problem variants and methods proposed in the\r\nliterature.
    Existing reviews do not take into account all derivatives of the AC\r\nproblem,
    nor do they offer a complete classification scheme. To this end, we\r\nintroduce
    taxonomies to describe the AC problem and features of configuration\r\nmethods,
    respectively. We review existing AC literature within the lens of our\r\ntaxonomies,
    outline relevant design choices of configuration approaches,\r\ncontrast methods
    and problem variants against each other, and describe the\r\nstate of AC in industry.
    Finally, our review provides researchers and\r\npractitioners with a look at future
    research directions in the field of AC."
