The abstract follows.
Hyper-heuristics are powerful search methodologies that operate on low
level heuristics or heuristic components to tackle computationally hard
optimisation problems. The current state-of-the-art in hyper-heuristic
research contains classes of algorithms that focus on intelligently
selecting or generating a suitable heuristic for a given situation.
Hence, there are two main types of hyper-heuristics: selection and
generation hyper-heuristics. A typical selection hyper-heuristic chooses
a low-level heuristic and applies it to the current solution at each
step of a search, before deciding whether to accept or reject the newly
created solution. Generation hyper-heuristics, in contrast,
automatically build heuristics or heuristic components during the search
process. Machine learning is revolutionising various fields, and its
integration with hyper-heuristics holds immense potential. This talk
will first offer a concise overview of hyper-heuristics, followed by
illustrative case studies demonstrating how we have successfully applied
machine learning to automatically design more effective selection
hyper-heuristics.

The next talk in our series will be:
