Objectives Are All You Need: Solving Deceptive Problems Without Explicit Diversity Maintenance

no code implementations4 Nov 2023 Ryan Boldi, Li Ding, Lee Spector

Furthermore, we find that this technique results in competitive performance on the diversity-focused metrics of QD-Score and Coverage, without explicitly optimizing for these things.

Particularity

no code implementations12 Jun 2023 Lee Spector, Li Ding, Ryan Boldi

We describe a design principle for adaptive systems under which adaptation is driven by particular challenges that the environment poses, as opposed to average or otherwise aggregated measures of performance over many challenges.

Can the Problem-Solving Benefits of Quality Diversity Be Obtained Without Explicit Diversity Maintenance?

no code implementations12 May 2023 Ryan Boldi, Lee Spector

This means that diversity is important to help us reach an objective, but is not an objective in itself.

Analyzing the Interaction Between Down-Sampling and Selection

no code implementations14 Apr 2023 Ryan Boldi, Ashley Bao, Martin Briesch, Thomas Helmuth, Dominik Sobania, Lee Spector, Alexander Lalejini

We verified that down-sampling can benefit the problem-solving success of both fitness-proportionate and tournament selection.

A Static Analysis of Informed Down-Samples

no code implementations4 Apr 2023 Ryan Boldi, Alexander Lalejini, Thomas Helmuth, Lee Spector

We present an analysis of the loss of population-level test coverage induced by different down-sampling strategies when combined with lexicase selection.

Informed Down-Sampled Lexicase Selection: Identifying productive training cases for efficient problem solving

no code implementations4 Jan 2023 Ryan Boldi, Martin Briesch, Dominik Sobania, Alexander Lalejini, Thomas Helmuth, Franz Rothlauf, Charles Ofria, Lee Spector

Random down-sampled lexicase selection evaluates individuals on only a random subset of the training cases allowing for more individuals to be explored with the same amount of program executions.

Lexicase Selection at Scale

no code implementations23 Aug 2022 Li Ding, Ryan Boldi, Thomas Helmuth, Lee Spector

Lexicase selection is a semantic-aware parent selection method, which assesses individual test cases in a randomly-shuffled data stream.

The Environmental Discontinuity Hypothesis for Down-Sampled Lexicase Selection

1 code implementation31 May 2022 Ryan Boldi, Thomas Helmuth, Lee Spector

Although this down-sampling procedure has been shown to significantly improve performance across a variety of problems, it does not seem to do so due to encouraging adaptability through environmental change.
