EvoStar, the leading European event on bio‑inspired computation, will have a Special Session on Surrogate-Assisted Evolutionary Computation (S-A-E-O) in 2023.
Webpage: https://www.evostar.org/2023/evoapps/saeo/
About the session:
In many real-world optimisation problems evaluating the objective function(s) is expensive, perhaps requiring days of computation for a single evaluation. Surrogate-assisted optimisation attempts to alleviate this problem by employing computationally cheap ‘surrogate’ models to estimate the objective function(s) or the ranking relationships of the candidate solutions.
The Session on Surrogate-Assisted Evolutionary Optimisation (S-A-E-O) to be held at EvoStar 2023 in Brno, Czech Republic, aims to promote the research on surrogate-assisted evolutionary optimisation, particularly the synergies between evolutionary optimisation and machine learning.
