Ensemble strategies for population-based optimization algorithms – a survey by Wu, Guohua, Mallipeddi, Rammohan, Suganthan, Ponnuthurai Nagaratnam

“…But, the trial and error approach for the appropriate configuration may be impractical because at different stages of evolution, the most appropriate configurations could be different depending on the characteristics of the current search region for a given problem. Recently, the concept of incorporating ensemble strategies into POAs has become popular so that the process of configuring an optimization algorithm can benefit from both the availability of diverse approaches at different stages and alleviate the computationally intensive offline tuning. …”
