It applies automatic algorithm design techniques to search for the best heuristics for a given optimization problem. Experiments show that the solver can find algorithms which perform better than or comparable to state-of-the-art methods, and can even find new best solutions for some instances of standard benchmark sets.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2021/672","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2021/672","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2021/0672.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2021/672.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2021/bibtex/672","volume":{"slug":"2021","title":"Proceedings of the Thirtieth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2021","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2021/","year":2021,"location":"Montreal","dates":"19-27 August 2021","editors":"Prof. Zhi-Hua Zhou","isbn":"978-0-9992411-9-6","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2021"},"section":"Doctoral Consortium","track":"Doctoral Consortium","number":672,"pages":{"first":4881,"last":4882},"keywords":["Heuristic Search and Game Playing: Combinatorial Search and Optimisation","Heuristic Search and Game Playing: Heuristic Search","Heuristic Search and Game Playing: Meta-Reasoning and Meta-Heuristics","Multidisciplinary Topics and Applications: Autonomic Computing"],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
