Abstract

Memetic search is well known as one of the state-of-the-art metaheuristics for finding high-quality solutions to NP-hard problems. Its performance is often attributable to appropriate design, including the choice of its operators. In this paper, we propose a Markov Decision Process model for the selection of crossover operators in the course of the evolutionary search. We solve the proposed model by a Q-learning method. We experimentally verify the efficacy of our proposed approach on the benchmark instances of Quadratic Assignment Problem.
