In this paper, we propose RLEMMO, a Meta-Black-Box Optimization framework, which maintains a population of solutions and incorporates a reinforcement learning agent for flexibly adjusting individual-level searching strategies to match the up-to-date optimization status, hence boosting the search performance on MMOP.
