This paper reveals the surprising result that a single-parent non-elitist evolution strategy (ES) can be locally faster than the (1+1)-ES. The result is brought about by mirrored s...

The verification of large radio-frequency/millimeter-wave (RF/MM) integrated circuits (ICs) has regained attention for high-performance designs beyond 90nm and 60GHz. The traditio...
We introduce the Spacing Memetic Algorithm (SMA), a formal evolutionary model devoted to a systematic control of spacing (distances) among individuals. SMA uses search space dista...

Given an algorithm A for solving some mathematical problem based on the iterative solution of simpler subproblems, an Outer Trust-Region (OTR) modification of A is the result of ...

We present new training methods that aim to mitigate local optima and slow convergence in unsupervised training by using additional imperfect objectives. In its simplest form, lat...
