Constrained optimization of a zoom lens with CMA-ES algorithm [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences
In the present paper we investigate how optimization algorithm can be tailored to improve the lens design process. We replaced gradient-based optimization methods by the Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES).

Deriving and improving CMA-ES with Information geometric trust regions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
CMA-ES is one of the most popular stochastic search algorithms. It performs favourably in many tasks without the need of extensive parameter tuning.

Composite Material Elastic Effective Coefficients Optimization by Means of a Micromechanical Mechanical Model

open access: yesApplied Mechanics, 2022
The presented research work demonstrates an efficient methodology based on a micromechanical framework for the prediction of the effective elastic properties of strongly bonded long-fiber-reinforced materials (CFRP) used for the construction of tubular ...

CMA-ES with Two-Point Step-Size Adaptation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We combine a refined version of two-point step-size adaptation with the covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES). Additionally, we suggest polished formulae for the learning rate of the covariance matrix and the recombination weights.

Maximum Likelihood-based Online Adaptation of Hyper-parameters in CMA-ES [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) is widely accepted as a robust derivative-free continuous optimization algorithm for non-linear and non-convex optimization problems.

Neural Architecture Search Using Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy

open access: yesEvolutionary Computation
Abstract Evolution-based neural architecture search methods have shown promising results, but they require high computational resources because these methods involve training each candidate architecture from scratch and then evaluating its fitness, which results in long search time. Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES)

An adaptive ES with a ranking based constraint handling strategy [PDF]

open access: yesYugoslav Journal of Operations Research, 2014
To solve a constrained optimization problem, equality constraints can be used to eliminate a problem variable. If it is not feasible, the relations imposed implicitly by the constraints can still be exploited.

A Bayesian Damage Identification Technique Using Evolutionary Algorithms - a Comparative Study

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Structural Engineering, 2015
In this paper, a one-stage model-based damage identification technique based on the response power spectral density of a structure is investigated.

An improved water wave optimisation algorithm enhanced by CMA-ES and opposition-based learning

open access: yesConnection Science, 2020
Water Wave Optimisation algorithm (WWO) is a new swarm-based metaheuristic inspired by shallow wave models for global optimisation. In this paper, an enhanced WWO, which combines with multiple assistant strategies (EWWO), is proposed.
