--- _id: '34103' abstract: - lang: eng text: "It is well known that different algorithms perform differently well on an\r\ninstance of an algorithmic problem, motivating algorithm selection (AS): Given\r\nan instance of an algorithmic problem, which is the most suitable algorithm to\r\nsolve it? As such, the AS problem has received considerable attention resulting\r\nin various approaches - many of which either solve a regression or ranking\r\nproblem under the hood. Although both of these formulations yield very natural\r\nways to tackle AS, they have considerable weaknesses. On the one hand,\r\ncorrectly predicting the performance of an algorithm on an instance is a\r\nsufficient, but not a necessary condition to produce a correct ranking over\r\nalgorithms and in particular ranking the best algorithm first. On the other\r\nhand, classical ranking approaches often do not account for concrete\r\nperformance values available in the training data, but only leverage rankings\r\ncomposed from such data. We propose HARRIS- Hybrid rAnking and RegRessIon\r\nforeSts - a new algorithm selector leveraging special forests, combining the\r\nstrengths of both approaches while alleviating their weaknesses. HARRIS'\r\ndecisions are based on a forest model, whose trees are created based on splits\r\noptimized on a hybrid ranking and regression loss function. As our preliminary\r\nexperimental study on ASLib shows, HARRIS improves over standard algorithm\r\nselection approaches on some scenarios showing that combining ranking and\r\nregression in trees is indeed promising for AS." author: - first_name: Lukass full_name: Fehring, Lukass last_name: Fehring - first_name: Jonas Manuel full_name: Hanselle, Jonas Manuel id: '43980' last_name: Hanselle orcid: 0000-0002-1231-4985 - first_name: Alexander full_name: Tornede, Alexander id: '38209' last_name: Tornede citation: ama: 'Fehring L, Hanselle JM, Tornede A.
