LLM-Driven Evolutionary Generation of Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization Algorithms
We extend the LLaMEA framework to MOBO, using large language models as mutation and crossover operators within evolutionary strategies to generate complete algorithm implementations, with SMAC hyperparameter optimization integrated into the evolutionary loop. Across nine evolutionary runs we generated approximately 900 algorithms and benchmarked them on twelve synthetic problems (ZDT, DTLZ, WFG) and three real-world engineering problems (RE), using a BoFire qParEGO implementation as a state-of-the-art Bayesian-optimization baseline. On the synthetic suite the strongest generated algorithm attains the highest mean normalized hypervolume (0.971, vs.
