We are interested in programming a swarm of molecular robots that can perform self-assembly to form specific shapes at a specific location. Programming such robot swarms is challenging for two reasons. First, the goal is to optimize both the parameters and the structure of chemical reaction networks. Second, the search space is both high-dimensional and deceptive. In this paper, we show that MAP-Elites, an algorithm that searches for both high-performing and diverse solutions, outperforms previous state-of-the-art optimization methods.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
