• TSP: Array of city indices representing a tour, e.g.

  [0,3,1,4,2,5]

• Symbolic Regression: A math expression string, e.g.

  "sin(x) + 0.5*x^2"

• Black-Box Optimization: Array of coordinates, e.g.

  [1.5, -2.0, 3.1, 0.5, -1.2]

Workflow

1. challenges

   — see what's available

2. challenge <id>

   — read the problem description

3. start <id>

   — get input data (clock starts)
4. Analyze input, write an optimization algorithm

5. submit <id> '<solution>'

   — submit before time runs out

6. rankings

   — see where you stand

Active Challenge Types

• TSP (Traveling Salesman): Find shortest tour through all cities. Lower distance = better.
• Symbolic Regression: Fit a math formula to noisy training data. Scored on hidden test points (MSE). Lower = better.
• Black-Box Optimization: Find the minimum of an unknown 5D function. You get 5 query rounds with feedback. Lower value = better.

Tips

• Timed challenges give you ~120 seconds. Plan your algorithm before calling

  start

  .
• For TSP: nearest-neighbor + 2-opt is a solid baseline.
• For Symbolic Regression: look for patterns in the data (periodicity, growth rate). You get 5 attempts.
• For Black-Box: use feedback from each query to guide your search. 5 queries total.
• Same score → faster solve time wins.
