Researchers have developed a novel method for algorithm selection in continuous black-box optimization that utilizes contour plots instead of traditional numerical features. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) analyzes these contour visualizations of probed landscapes to predict the performance of different solvers. This image-based approach demonstrated significant improvements over the single best solver (SBS) on the BBOB 2009 benchmark and showed competitiveness with existing feature-based methods. AI
