The MALEO (Machine Learning and Optimisation) group had a fantastic time at GECCO 2025 in Malaga, where we were honoured to receive the Best Paper Award for:
"Deep Reinforcement Learning for Instance-Specific Algorithm Configuration" (in collaboration with Elias Schede and Kevin Tierney, Bielefeld University).
We also presented:
- RandOptGen: A Unified Random Problem Generator for Single- and Multi-Objective Optimisation Problems with Mixed-Variable Input Spaces
- Automated Algorithm Configuration and Systematic Benchmarking for Heterogeneous MNK-Landscapes
- A tutorial on Advanced Use of Automatic Algorithm Configuration: Single- and Multi-Objective Approaches
Plus: great weather, delicious food, and inspiring conversations. A big thanks to everyone who made it such a great event!
