Evolving prediction weights using evolution strategy
The evolution strategy is one of the strongest evolutionary algorithms for optimizing real-value vectors. In this paper, we study how to use it for the evolution of prediction wei...

The dispersion metric and the CMA evolution strategy
An algorithm independent metric is introduced that measures the dispersion of a uniform random sample drawn from the top ranked percentiles of the search space. A low dispersion f...
