Benchmarking@GECCO-2022 Workshop

Good Benchmarking Practices for Evolutionary Computation

Saturday, July 9, 2022
(16:00-17:50 EST)
hybrid event : onsite in Boston, MA, and online


The Benchmarking@GECCO Workshop Series

A platform to come together and to discuss recent progress and challenges in the area of benchmarking optimization heuristics.

This workshop will continue our workshop series that we started in 2020 .The core theme is on benchmarking evolutionary computation methods and related sampling-based optimization heuristics, but each year, we will change the focus.

Our focus topic for the 2022 edition is
- relevance, approaches, and
practicability of benchmarking for industry

Schedule for the 2022 Workshop

  • Welcome & Opening by the workshop organizers (10 min.)

  • Invited Talk 1 (15 min.+ 20 min. discussion): Risto Miikkulainen: “Performance Evaluation in the Real World: Challenges and Potential Solutions

  • Invited Talk 2 (15 min.+ 20 min. discussion): Tea Tusar: "A Real-World Perspective on Benchmarking Optimization Algorithm"

  • Open discussion (30 min.): benchmarking for applications in industry
