abstract = "In natural ecologies, niches are created, altered, or
destroyed, driving populations to continually change
and produce novel features. Here, we explore an
approach to guiding evolution via the power of niches:
ecologically-mediated hints. The original exploration
of ecologically-mediated hints occurred in Eco-EA, an
algorithm in which an experimenter provides a primary
fitness function for a tough problem that they are
trying to solve, as well as 'hints' that are associated
with limited resources. We hypothesize that other
evolutionary algorithms that create niches, such as
lexicase selection, can be provided hints in a similar
way. Here, we use a toy problem to investigate the
expected benefits of using this approach to solve more
challenging problems. Of course, since humans are
notoriously bad at choosing fitness functions,
user-provided advice may be misleading. Thus, we also
explore the impact of misleading hints. As expected, we
find that informative hints facilitate solving the
problem. However, the mechanism of niche-creation
(Eco-EA vs. lexicase selection) dramatically impacts
the algorithm's robustness to misleading hints.",
