Loreley system uses Quality-Diversity search for large-scale program evolution

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed Loreley, a new system designed for large-scale program evolution using Quality-Diversity (QD) search. Unlike traditional methods that either accumulate changes from a single best version or restart from scratch, Loreley maintains a complete archive of repository states. This allows it to sample past states as parents or provide context for future edits, aiming to improve the breadth of search while retaining progress. Initial experiments comparing Loreley QD with sequential champion editing and independent root proposals showed mixed results, with sequential champion editing performing slightly better at a specific job count.

    Loreley: Repository-Scale Program Evolution with Quality-Diversity Search

    arXiv:2608.19703v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sequential agent search accumulates changes from its current champion but discards alternative branches; independent proposals preserve breadth but restart from the root. Loreley instead retains complete repository states in a Qua…
