LIONsolver originates from research principles in Reactive Search for academic
Optimization[2] advocating the use of self-tuning schemes acting use
while a software system is running. Learning and Intelligent
OptimizatioN refers to the integration of online machine learning Website lionoso.com (ht
schemes into the optimization software, so that it becomes capable tp://lionoso.co
of learning from its previous runs and from human feedback. A m/)
[3]
related approach is that of Programming by Optimization, which
provides a direct way of defining design spaces involving Reactive Search Optimization, and of
Autonomous Search [4] advocating adapting problem-solving algorithms.

Version 2.0 of the software was released on Oct 1, 2011, covering also the Unix and Mac OS X operating
systems in addition to Windows.

The modeling components include neural networks, polynomials, locally weighted Bayesian regression, k-
means clustering, and self-organizing maps. A free academic license for non-commercial use and class use
is available.

The software architecture of LIONsolver[5] permits interactive multi-objective optimization, with a user
interface for visualizing the results and facilitating the solution analysis and decision making process. The
architecture allows for problem-specific extensions, and it is applicable as a post-processing tool for all
optimization schemes with a number of different potential solutions. When the architecture is tightly
coupled to a specific problem-solving or optimization method, effective interactive schemes where the final
decision maker is in the loop can be developed.[6]
On Apr 24, 2013 LIONsolver received the first prize of the Michael J. Fox Foundation – Kaggle
Parkinson's Data Challenge, a contest leveraging "the wisdom of the crowd" to benefit people with
Parkinson's disease.[7]
