Revolutionizing Optimization: LLMs Crafting New Test Landscapes

This research introduces a groundbreaking framework called Evolution of Test Functions (EoTF) that leverages Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) to automatically design optimization test problems. This innovative approach promises to create more diverse and representative benchmarks for evaluating black-box optimization algorithms, paving the way for advancements in the field.

• •EoTF uses Generative AI to automatically generate optimization test functions.
• •The approach matches the landscapes of generated functions to specific Exploratory Landscape Analysis (ELA) feature vectors.
• •Experiments show EoTF produces non-trivial functions with matching ELA characteristics.
