We implement a weighted negative update of the covariance matrix in the CMA-ES—weighted active CMA-ES or, in short, aCMA-ES. We benchmark the IPOP-aCMA-ES and compare the perfor...
The well-known Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) is a robust stochastic search algorithm for optimizing functions defined on a continuous search space RD ....
Originally, genetic algorithms were developed based on the binary representation of candidate solutions in which each conjectured solution is a fixed-length string of binary numb...
We benchmark an independent-restart-(1+1)-CMA-ES on the BBOB-2009 noisy testbed. The (1+1)-CMA-ES is an adaptive stochastic algorithm for the optimization of objective functions d...
The (1+1)-ES with one-fifth success rule is one of the first and simplest stochastic algorithm proposed for optimization on a continuous search space in a black-box scenario. In...
