Methods for efficient solution set optimization

摘要

A method for optimizing a solution set comprises the steps of generating an initial solution set, identifying a desirable portion of the initial solution set using a fitness calculator, using the desirable portion to create a surrogate fitness model that is computationally less expensive than the fitness calculator, generating new solutions, replacing at least a portion of the initial solution set with the new solutions to create a second solution set, and evaluating at least a portion of the second solution set with the fitness surrogate model to identify a second desirable portion.
