Researchers have developed WASHH, a novel Whale-guided Adaptive Selection Hyper-Heuristic designed for continuous black-box optimization. This method integrates various search strategies like PSO, GWO, and DE, controlled by an online reward mechanism that allocates evaluations based on observed improvements. WASHH also incorporates an anchor refinement technique to leverage inexpensive reference configurations without needing full black-box evaluations. In tests on benchmark functions and SVC hyperparameter configuration for breast cancer diagnosis, WASHH demonstrated superior performance, achieving the best average rank and lowest validation log loss.
