An efficient policy search algorithm should estimate the local gradient of the objective function, with respect to the policy parameters, from as few trials as possible. Whereas m...
In this paper, we analyze the performance of random load resampling and migration strategies in parallel server systems. Clients initially attach to an arbitrary server, but may s...

The Covariance-Matrix-Adaptation Evolution-Strategy (CMA-ES) is a robust stochastic search algorithm for optimizing functions defined on a continuous search space RD . Recently, ...
In this paper we propose an improved motion estimation algorithm based on Evolutionary strategy (ES) for H.264 video codec applied to video. The proposed technique works in a para...
