| Résumé : | Multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) are typically proposed, studied, and applied as monolithic blocks with a few numerical parameters that need to be set. Few works have studied how the algorithmic components of these evolutionary algorithms can be classified and combined to produce new algorithmic designs. The motivation for studies of this latter type stem from the development of flexible software frameworks and the usage of automatic algorithm configuration methods to find novel algorithm designs. In this paper, we propose anMOEA template and a new conceptual view of its components that surpasses existing frameworks in both number of algorithms that can be instantiated from the template and flexibility to produce novel algorithmic designs. We empirically demonstrate the flexibility of our proposed framework by automatically designing MOEAs for continuous and combinatorial optimization problems. The automatically designed algorithms are often able to outperform six traditional MOEAs from the literature, even after tuning their numerical parameters. |
