BIMK/PlatEMO

Evolutionary multi-objective optimization platform

What it solves

PlatEMO is a MATLAB platform for running and comparing evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms. It bundles hundreds of algorithms and benchmark problems so researchers can test new ideas without starting from scratch.

How it works

PlatEMO provides a unified MATLAB interface with a graphical user interface (GUI). Users pick an algorithm and a problem, run experiments in parallel, and visualize results such as Pareto fronts and performance trajectories. It also exports tables to Excel or LaTeX.

Who it's for

Researchers and educators in the field of evolutionary multi-objective optimization who need a ready-to-use toolkit for experiments and publication-quality results.

Highlights

  • 300+ open-source evolutionary algorithms, many from top journals after 2010
  • 600+ benchmark problems, including new ones like HYL1-HYL5
  • Powerful GUI to run experiments without writing code
  • Parallel execution and one-click export to Excel or LaTeX tables
  • Continually updated with state-of-the-art algorithms

  • Project
    algorithmicsuperintelligence/openevolve

    OpenEvolve is an open‑source Python library that combines large‑language‑model prompting with a MAP‑Elites evolutionary algorithm (island parallelism) to automatically rewrite, optimize, or invent code across many languages. Users supply an initial program and an evaluator; the system mutates the code via LLMs, evaluates candidates, and maintains a diverse Pareto‑optimal archive. It supports multiple LLM back‑ends (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, local Ollama, etc.), offers deterministic reproducibility, extensible hooks, and can be run via CLI, Docker, or as a Python module. Example use‑cases include GPU kernel tuning, novel algorithm discovery (e.g., adaptive sorting, circle packing), scientific computing, and competitive‑programming solution generation.
