Gaussian Adaptation Revisited - An Entropic View on Covariance Matrix Adaptation
Abstract. We revisit Gaussian Adaptation (GaA), a black-box optimizer for discrete and continuous problems that has been developed in the late 1960’s. This largely neglected sear...

A Natural Evolution Strategy for Multi-objective Optimization
Abstract. The recently introduced family of natural evolution strategies (NES), a novel stochastic descent method employing the natural gradient, is providing a more principled alt...

Variable Metric Reinforcement Learning Methods Applied to the Noisy Mountain Car Problem
Two variable metric reinforcement learning methods, the natural actor-critic algorithm and the covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy, are compared on a conceptual level a...

Improved step size adaptation for the MO-CMA-ES
The multi-objective covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (MO-CMA-ES) is an evolutionary algorithm for continuous vector-valued optimization. It combines indicator-based...
