讲座简介：This talk will introduce Genetic Programming Hyper-Heuristics (GPHH), which is a hybridised technique of evolutionary machine learning and optimisation, and is closely related to automated algorithm design. Unlike traditional optimisation techniques, GPHH optimises heuristics/algorithms that is more generalizable than solutions, and is much more effective for real-world problems, which usually has large problem size and dynamic environment. GPHH has achieved great success in a lot of complex optimisation problems such as job shop scheduling, vehicle routing, timetabling, etc. In this seminar, I will introduce the basics of GPHH, design issues and challenges, and some examples done in our Evolutionary Computation Research Group.
