Hyper-quicksort: energy efficient sorting via the Templar framework for Template Method Hyper-heuristics

Scalability remains an issue for program synthesis: - We don’t yet know how to generate sizeable algorithms from scratch. - Generative approaches such as GP still work best at the scale of expressions (though some recent promising results). - Formal approaches require a strong mathematical background. - ... but human ingenuity already provides a vast repertoire of specialized algorithms, usually with known asymptotic behaviour. Given these limitations, how can we best use generative hyper-heuristics to improve upon human-designed algorithms?
