How can I configurate the late acceptance algorithm? - algorithm

Question

I am encountering some problems when it comes to modifying the applied algorithms:
First, it seems I cannot change the late acceptance algorithm configuration. This is my local search configuration, which works nicely when I am not specifying neither acceptor nor forager:
<localSearch>
<localSearchType>LATE_ACCEPTANCE</localSearchType>
<acceptor>
<lateAcceptanceSize>5000</lateAcceptanceSize>
<entityTabuRatio>0.1</entityTabuRatio>
<!--valueTabuSize>10000</valueTabuSize-->
</acceptor>
<forager>
<acceptedCountLimit>1</acceptedCountLimit>
</forager>
<termination>
<minutesSpentLimit>10</minutesSpentLimit>
<bestScoreLimit>[0/11496/11496]hard/[0]soft</bestScoreLimit>
</termination>
</localSearch>
I get this error message as part of the output
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The localSearchType (...
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The localSearchType (LATE_ACCEPTANCE) must not be configured if the acceptorConfig (AcceptorConfig()) is explicitly configured.

Answer 1

Finally, I was told that the configuration of LATE_ACCEPTANCE and lateAcceptanceSize at the same time is incompatible. Therefore I set late acceptance size as the only parameter (therefore Late acceptance as an acceptor) instead of writing it down as the local search type.
<localSearch>
<acceptor>
<lateAcceptanceSize>5000</lateAcceptanceSize>
<entityTabuRatio>0.1</entityTabuRatio>
<!--valueTabuSize>10000</valueTabuSize-->
</acceptor>
<forager>
<acceptedCountLimit>1</acceptedCountLimit>
</forager>
<termination>
<minutesSpentLimit>10</minutesSpentLimit>
<bestScoreLimit>[0/11496/11496]hard/[0]soft</bestScoreLimit>
</termination>
</localSearch>
