Title
Learning a Hidden Markov Model-Based Hyper-heuristic
Abstract
A simple model shows how a reasonable update scheme for the probability vector by which a hyper-heuristic chooses the next heuristic leads to neglecting useful mutation heuristics. Empirical evidence supports this on the MAXSAT, TRAVELINGSALESMAN, PERMUTATION-FLOWSHOP and VEHICLEROUTINGPROBLEM problems. A new approach to hyper-heuristics is proposed that addresses this problem by modeling and learning hyper-heuristics by means of a hidden Markov Model. Experiments show that this is a feasible and promising approach.
