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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
