Benchmarking real-coded genetic algorithm on noisy black-box optimization testbed
Originally, genetic algorithms were developed based on the binary representation of candidate solutions in which each conjectured solution is a fixed-length string of binary numb...

A Conservation Law for Generalization Performance
Conservation of information (COI) popularized by the no free lunch theorem is a great leveler of search algorithms, showing that on average no search outperforms any other. Yet in ...

Sampling Bias and Search Space Boundary Extension in Real Coded Genetic Algorithms
In Real coded genetic algorithms, some crossover operators do not work well on functions which have their optimum at the corner of the search space. To cope with this problem, we ...

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...
