The BFGS quasi-Newton method is benchmarked on the noisy BBOB-2009 testbed. A multistart strategy is applied with a maximum number of function evaluations of about 104 times the s...
The NEWUOA which belongs to the class of DerivativeFree optimization algorithms is benchmarked on the BBOB2009 noisy testbed. A multistart strategy is applied with a maximum numbe...
In 1989, an effort to solve the game of checkers began. It was naïve because of the daunting size of the search space, 5×1020 positions, and because of computer capabilities of ...
Similarity search in metric spaces is a general paradigm that can be used in several application fields. It can also be effectively exploited in content-based image retrieval syst...
A very undesirable behavior of any heuristic algorithm is to be stuck in some specific parts of the search space, in particular in the basins of attraction of the local optima. Wh...
