The deadline for all five tracks of the Black Box Optimization
Competition (BBComp, https://bbcomp.ini.rub.de/) was extended by one
week, until July 8, 2019.
BBComp is the first competition platform in the continuous domain where
test problems are truly black boxes to participants. The only
information known to the optimizer and the participant is the dimension
of the problem, bounds on all variables, and a budget of black box queries.
The competition is also the first web/online optimization competition in
the evolutionary computation domain. It aims at attacking a growing
impact of over-fitting of optimization algorithms to a narrow set of
existing benchmark problems. The competition was run six times so far,
attracting more than 100 unique submissions, including some
state-of-the-art commercial solvers.
Material for participation including example source code in C/C++,
MATLAB, Python and Java is available at https://bbcomp.ini.rub.de/ . The
results of the competition will be announced during GECCO'2019.
Participants do not need to attend the conference or submit papers, they
can even choose to be anonymous to the other participants.
