Exploiting diverse distance metrics for surrogate-based optimisation of ordering problems (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Smith, J., Stone, C., & Serpell, M. (2016, July). Exploiting diverse distance metrics for surrogate-based optimisation of ordering problems. Paper presented at ACM-SIGEVO Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, GECCO ’16, Denver, CO, USA

Surrogate-assisted optimisation has proven success in the continuous domain, but only recently begun to be explored for other representations, in particular permutations. The use of Gaussian kernel-based models has been proposed, but only tested on s... Read More about Exploiting diverse distance metrics for surrogate-based optimisation of ordering problems.

Exploiting antipheromone in ant colony optimisation for interactive search-based software design and refactoring (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Simons, C., & Smith, J. (2016, July). Exploiting antipheromone in ant colony optimisation for interactive search-based software design and refactoring. Poster presented at ACM-SIGEVO Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, GECCO ’16, Denver, CO, USA

Preventing user-fatigue in interactive meta-heuristic search places as great an emphasis on efficiency as it does on ef- fectiveness. Engagement may also be boosted if the system provides a sense of “responsiveness” - for example, avoiding unpopular...
