Efficient natural evolution strategies [PDF]
Efficient Natural Evolution Strategies (eNES) is a novel alternative to conventional evolutionary algorithms, using the natural gradient to adapt the mutation distribution. Unlike previous methods based on natural gradients, eNES uses a fast algorithm to calculate the inverse of the exact Fisher information matrix, thus increasing both robustness and ...

Memory-Based Evolutionary Algorithms for Nonlinear and Stochastic Programming Problems
In this paper, we target the problems of finding a global minimum of nonlinear and stochastic programming problems. To solve this type of problem, we propose new approaches based on combining direct search methods with Evolution Strategies (ESs) and ...

Optimum Tracking with Evolution Strategies [PDF]
Evolutionary algorithms are frequently applied to dynamic optimization problems in which the objective varies with time. It is desirable to gain an improved understanding of the influence of different genetic operators and of the parameters of a strategy on its tracking performance.

The Hessian Estimation Evolution Strategy [PDF]
We present a novel black box optimization algorithm called Hessian Estimation Evolution Strategy. The algorithm updates the covariance matrix of its sampling distribution by directly estimating the curvature of the objective function. This algorithm design is targeted at twice continuously differentiable problems.

Exponential natural evolution strategies [PDF]
The family of natural evolution strategies (NES) offers a principled approach to real-valued evolutionary optimization by following the natural gradient of the expected fitness. Like the well-known CMA-ES, the most competitive algorithm in the field, NES comes with important invariance properties.

Real-Time Policy Optimization for UAV Swarms Based on Evolution Strategies
Multi-agent decision-making faces many challenges such as non-stationarity and sparse rewards, while the complexity and randomness of the real environment further complicate policy development.

Multi-strategy Differential Evolution [PDF]
We propose the Multi-strategy Differential Evolution (MsDE) algorithm to construct and maintain a self-adaptive ensemble of search strategies while solving an optimization problem. The ensemble of strategies is represented as agents that interact with the candidate solutions to improve their fitness.
