Abstract
Exploratory landscape analysis techniques are widely used methods for the algorithm selection problem. The existing sampling methods for exploratory landscape analysis are usually designed to sample unbiased candidates for measuring the characteristics of the entire search space. In this paper, we discuss the limitation of the unbiased sampling and propose a novel sampling method, which is algorithm based and thus biased. Based on the sampling method, we propose several novel landscape features which are called algorithm based landscape features. The proposed features are compared with the conventional landscape features using supervised and unsupervised learning. The experimental results show that the algorithm based landscape features outperform the conventional landscape features.
