Black-box optimization algorithms (BBOAs) are conceived for settings in which exact problem formulations are non-existent, inaccessible, or too complex for an analytical solution. BBOAs are essentially the only means of finding a good solution to such problems. Due to their general applicability, BBOAs can exhibit different behaviors when optimizing different types of problems. This yields a meta-optimization problem of choosing the best suited algorithm for a particular problem, called the algorithm selection (AS) problem. By reason of inherent human bias and limited expert knowledge, the vision of automating the selection process has quickly gained traction in the community. One prominent way of doing so is via so-called landscape-aware ...
