This paper advances quality-diversity optimization by applying the theory of magnitude to generic dissimilarity spaces, offering a generalized framework for Go-Explore algorithms. The work contributes directly to machine learning research by providing mathematical rigor for maximizing solution diversity in complex search landscapes.
Quality-diversity in dissimilarity spaces
arXiv:2211.12337v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The theory of magnitude provides a mathematical framework for quantifying and maximizing diversity. We apply this framework to formulate quality-diversity algorithms in generic dissimilarity spaces. In particular, we instantiate and demonstrate a very general version of Go-Explore with promising performance.
