This paper presents an improved version of a simple evolution strategy (SES) to solve global nonlinear optimization problems. As its previous version, the approach does not require...
Abstract The problem of finding a global optimum of an unconstrained multimodal function has been the subject of intensive study in recent years, giving rise to valuable advances ...
The No-Free-Lunch theorems (NFLTs) are criticized for being too general to be of any relevance to the real world scenario. This paper investigates, both formally and empirically, ...
We present a novel POMDP planning algorithm called heuristic search value iteration (HSVI). HSVI is an anytime algorithm that returns a policy and a provable bound on its regret w...
