DESCRIPTION:As modern optimization tasks grow in number and diversity\, aut
 omated algorithm design becomes essential. This talk introduces Meta-Black
 -Box Optimization (MetaBBO)\, from early ideas to recent advances\, and or
 ganizes the field into four paradigms: algorithm selection\, algorithm con
 figuration\, algorithm generation\, and solution manipulation. I will focu
 s on our contributions to algorithm generation along three directions: dis
 covering evolutionary update rules in a symbolic mathematical space\; asse
 mbling optimizers with parameters in a modular space\; and leveraging larg
 e language models to synthesize executable optimizer code. To strengthen g
 eneralization\, we study how to build diverse training task sets and how t
 o learn more effective task and state representations. I will also present
  the MetaBox platform\, which aims to improve the development efficiency a
 nd support fair evaluation in the field. I will end with a brief look ahea
 d to key opportunities and open questions.\n\nNo. 3333 Liuxian Avenue\, Na

 the field into four paradigms: algorithm selection\, algorithm configurati

 more effective task and state representations. I will also present the Met
