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...

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...
