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...
In a companion paper, we presented a weighted negative update of the covariance matrix in the CMA-ES—weighted active CMA-ES or, in short, aCMA-ES. In this paper, we benchmark th...
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 ....
This paper investigates the impact of sequential selection, a concept recently introduced for Evolution Strategies (ESs), that consists in performing the evaluations of the diffe...
