Abstract

In interactive metaheuristic search, the human helps to steer the trajectory of the search by providing qualitative evaluation to assist in the selection of solution individuals. It can be challenging to design mechanisms to exploit human qualitative evaluation taking into account human trade-off judgments among competing criteria and implicit knowledge and experience. This paper addresses this challenge by proposing the Preference metaheuristic design pattern involving six abstractions across two dimensions: explicit and implicit knowledge and a priori, interactive and a posteriori timings.
