From Genetic Variation to Probabilistic Modeling
Genetic algorithms ⦓GAs) [53, 83] are stochastic optimization methods inspired by natural evolution and genetics. Over the last few decades, GAs have...

Hierarchical Bayesian Optimization Algorithm
The previous chapter has discussed how hierarchy can be used to reduce problem complexity in black-box optimization. Additionally, the chapter has...

Hierarchical BOA in the Real World
The last chapter designed hBOA, which was shown to provide scalable solution for hierarchical traps. Since hierarchical traps were designed to test...

Scalability Analysis
The empirical results of the last chapter were tantalizing. Easy and hard problems were automatically solved without user intervention in polynomial...

Bayesian Optimization Algorithm
The previous chapter argued that using probabilistic models with multivariate interactions is a powerful approach to solving problems of bounded...
