Pareto Diversity Optimization

Pareto diversity optimization aims to find a diverse set of high-quality solutions for a given problem, treating solution quality and diversity as competing objectives within a bi-objective optimization framework. Current research focuses on evolutionary algorithms, including adaptations of NSGA-II and SPEA2, and co-evolutionary approaches that maintain separate populations for quality and diversity optimization, often employing techniques like inter-population crossover to enhance diversity. This approach is significant because it provides a richer understanding of the problem landscape by revealing trade-offs between solution quality and diversity, with applications in various fields requiring robust and adaptable solutions.
