New framework dissects CEC 2017 benchmark transformations for algorithm analysis

Researchers have developed a new framework to independently control bias, shift, and rotation transformations within the CEC 2017 benchmark. This allows for a more granular analysis of how these transformations individually affect algorithmic behavior, specifically diagnosing the hybrid Marine Predators Algorithm (hMPA). The study adapted Dynamic Margin Deep Simplex Classifiers (DSC and eDSC) to analyze all eight bias-shift-rotation configurations, revealing that shift generally degrades objective values, isolated rotation has minimal impact, and shift-rotation combinations show the most consistent deviation from the control.

    Sensitivity of hMPA to Controlled CEC 2017 Transformations

    The standard CEC 2017 benchmark applies bias, shift, and rotation simultaneously, confounding their individual effects on algorithmic behavior. We introduce a parameterized implementation that controls these transformations independently while preserving the original functions an…
