Abstract

This paper presents a novel way for interactively identifying a most preferable solution based on quality and behavioural characteristics. Our algorithm combines the principles of Quality-Diversity Search and Bayesian Optimization to create Gaussian Process surrogate models of the behaviour and fitness space. Unlike traditional Quality-Diversity methods which aim to find good solutions with different behavioural characteristics, we propose a three-step interactive approach that allows a decision maker to effciently identify the most preferred solution(s). In the first stage, it uses an entropybased acquisition function to generate an illumination model, followed by an interactive phase where the decision maker can specify regions of interest and a target behaviour. These preferences are then utilized by an improvement greedy acquisition function to guide the optimization process and quickly identify a solution close to the user-specified target. In a case study, with a simulated decision maker, we demonstrate that our approach can find better solutions much more quickly than by selecting the most preferred solution from an archive generated with MAP-Elites.
