Meta-learning optimizer MeCO enhances black-box optimization

Researchers have developed MeCO, a novel meta-learning-assisted optimizer designed to improve constrained black-box optimization. MeCO integrates a SHADE optimizer with a Double Deep Q-Network controller to learn adaptive relaxation policies. This approach allows the controller to select relaxation vectors based on population and constraint features, enabling effective transfer across various problem instances, including benchmark functions, higher dimensions, and real-world engineering tasks like UAV path-planning.

    Meta-Learning-Assisted Constraint Relaxation for Constrained Black-Box Optimization

    arXiv:2602.00532v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Constraint handling is central to constrained black-box optimization (BBO), where objective improvement and feasibility restoration often provide conflicting search signals. Existing $\epsilon$-relaxation methods are simpl…
