It sounds like the responsibility of future works to mention these drawbacks, so that hopefully it becomes well known.

Overall, cool paper about a funny application of combinatorial optimization. Jokes aside, RL and optimization are probably the future of game design. At least for puzzle games. 🙂

Genetic Algorithm for Puzzle Solving with Diversity Selection
By
–
Next, solving puzzles. The authors used a custom GA: 1/ Initialization using the previous algorithm 2/ Crossover/Mutation with a uniform crossover operation 3/ Find feasible solutions and "heal" broken ones 4/ Selection with a diversity criterion
-
Multi-Island Genetic Algorithm for Diversity Maintenance
By
–
Maintaining diversity is a big focus, so they implemented a "multi-island" GA. → Each population is divided into several sub-populations called "islands" → Applies GA separately on each sub-population, periodically migrating individuals between them
-
Multi-Island Genetic Algorithms Outperform Standard Approaches
By
–
Here are the final results. The multi-island outperforms the standard GA while maintaining higher diversity. There are a lot of useful tips and tricks about GAs in this paper. GAs deserve more love.

Graph Node Selection Algorithm With Constraint-Based Synergy Optimization
By
–
Proposed solution: 1/ Defining a random traversal order for graph nodes 2/ Filtering the list of candidates according to constraint requirements 3/ Selecting an item that maximizes the synergy of partially filled neighboring candidates.

Building High-Synergy Agent Formations and Optimal Puzzle Solutions
By
–
The authors divide this problem into 2 subproblems: 1/ Building formations with high synergy 2/ Solve puzzles in a near-optimal way

Optimizing Puzzle Generation: Beyond Exhaustive Search Methods
By
–
Current landscape: • Traditional approaches to generating puzzles are often time-consuming • Exhaustive search may not be feasible due to the large design space

Can Language Models Achieve Human-Level Intelligence?
By

Do you think a language model might reach human-level intelligence? Today's talk from @LauraRuis of @UCL_DARK at our London office prompted some intriguing discussion on how outward expression of internal beliefs can make coherent language. What are your thoughts?
