Benchmarking a weighted negative covariance matrix update on the BBOB-2010 noiseless testbed
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...

Generative and developmental systems
This paper argues that multiagent learning is a potential “killer application” for generative and developmental systems (GDS) because key challenges in learning to coordinate ...

Using synthetic test suites to empirically compare search-based and greedy prioritizers
The increase in the complexity of modern software has led to the commensurate growth in the size and execution time of the test suites for these programs. In order to address this...

Comparing the (1+1)-CMA-ES with a mirrored (1+2)-CMA-ES with sequential selection on the noiseless BBOB-2010 testbed
In this paper, we compare the (1+1)-CMA-ES to the (1+2s m)CMA-ES, a recently introduced quasi-random (1+2)-CMAES that uses mirroring as derandomization technique as well as a sequ...
