The problem of optimization algorithm is tuning the parameters. We need to enhance the performance of metaheuristic algorithms. Thus, is there any the state-of-the art parameter tuning algorithm for solving this problem? Thanks
I recommend you reading this paper from Eiben and Smit: http://web.info.uvt.ro/~dzaharie/cne2012/proiecte/tehnici/statistical_analysis/parameter_tuning.pdf
There is a set of works in which optimum values of parameters are investigated. It is possible to tell that in each work this task is set and solved. Optimum values of parameters depend on a type of criterion function and dimension of a task. Proceeding from personal experience, for genetic algorithms we use the following parameters: quantity of individuals in population = 200, probability of crossing = 0.1, probability of a mutation = 0.01.
Now self adaptive methods are emerging for each metaheuristic algorithms. i have used parameter adaptive HS algorithm for solving design optimization problems.
By using those self adaptive methods the problem of parameter tuning issue may be addressed

Fuzzy logic control can also be used to dynamically adapt parameters of optimization algorithm.Yo can refer to following article on improving the performance of Differential evolution using fuzzy logic.
