Distributed global optimization (DGO) [PDF]
A new technique of global optimization and its applications in particular to neural networks are presented. The algorithm is also compared to other global optimization algorithms such as Gradient descent (GD), Monte Carlo (MC), Genetic Algorithm (GA) and other commercial packages.

Enhancing Local Decisions in Agent-Based Cartesian Genetic Programming by CMA-ES
Cartesian genetic programming is a popular version of classical genetic programming, and it has now demonstrated a very good performance in solving various use cases. Originally, programs evolved by using a centralized optimization approach. Recently, an

Optimal Distributed Covering Algorithms [PDF]
AbstractWe present a time-optimal deterministic distributed algorithm for approximating a minimum weight vertex cover in hypergraphs of rank f. This problem is equivalent to the Minimum Weight Set Cover problem in which the frequency of every element is bounded by f. The approximation factor of our algorithm is $$(f+\varepsilon )$$

Distributed delayed stochastic optimization [PDF]
We analyze the convergence of gradient-based optimization algorithms that base their updates on delayed stochastic gradient information. The main application of our results is to the development of gradient-based distributed optimization algorithms where a master node performs parameter updates while worker nodes compute stochastic gradients based on ...

Augmented Cucker-Smale Model for Distributed Optimization
The Cucker-Smale (C-S) model describes an interacting particle system in which the connection weights decrease with increasing distance. This model features emergent behaviors by which the velocities of the particles converge to a common value without a ...
