A survey of niching algorithms, based on 5 variants of derandomized Evolution Strategies (ES), is introduced. This set of niching algorithms, ranging from the very first derandom...
ICSPEA is a novel multi-objective evolutionary algorithm which integrates aspects from the powerful variation operators of the Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA...
This paper presents a lens system design algorithm using the covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES), which is one of the most powerful self-adaptation mechanisms....
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...
The problem of model selection for support vector machines (SVMs) is considered. We propose an evolutionary approach to determine multiple SVM hyperparameters: The covariance matr...
