arXiv:2606.02016v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Algorithm Selection (AS) aims to automatically identify the most suitable optimization algorithm for a given problem instance by leveraging measurable problem characteristics and historical performance data. In this study, we investigate the generalization ability of AS models across both synthetic and real-world optimization landscapes. We consider two widely used academic benchmark suites (BBOB and CEC) and two real-world problem sets (robotics trajectory optimization tasks and unmanned aerial vehicle path-planning problems). Through a systemat
This paper addresses a critical, ongoing challenge in AI and optimization: ensuring that models developed in academic settings perform effectively in complex, real-world scenarios, which is increasingly vital as AI applications proliferate.
Improving the generalizability of algorithm selection models directly enhances the efficiency and reliability of AI-driven optimization across various industries, from robotics to logistics, making AI more practically useful.
The focus shifts towards rigorously validating AI models beyond academic benchmarks, necessitating the use of more diverse and challenging real-world datasets for development and evaluation.
