The knowledge about variable interactions is frequently employed in state-of-the-art
research concerning Genetic Algorithms (GA). Whether these interactions are known a priori …

Gray-box optimization employs the knowledge about the true direct gene dependencies
represented by the Variable Interaction Graph (VIG). This knowledge is utilized in many …

The objective value of an ill-conditioned function may significantly change with a minor shift
of the argument in the search space. Ill-conditioned functions do not have at all or exhibit …

This review examines over 150 new metaheuristics of the last six years (between 2019 and
2024), underscoring their profound influence and performance. Over the past three decades …

Machine learning models can be made more performant and their predictions more
consistent by creating an ensemble. Each neural network in an ensemble commonly …

Exploiting knowledge about the structure of a problem can greatly benefit the efficiency and
