This paper investigates the impact of sequential selection, a concept recently introduced for Evolution Strategies (ESs), that consists in performing the evaluations of the diffe...
VLSI research, in its continuous push toward further miniaturisation, is seeking to break through the limitations of current circuit manufacture techniques by moving towards biomi...

A central tenet of embodied artificial intelligence is that intelligent behavior arises out of the coupled dynamics between an agent’s body, brain and environment. It follows t...
In this paper, we compare the (1+1)-CMA-ES to the (1+2s m)CMA-ES, a recently introduced quasi-random (1+2)-CMAES that uses mirroring as derandomization technique as well as a sequ...
In a companion paper, we presented a weighted negative update of the covariance matrix in the CMA-ES—weighted active CMA-ES or, in short, aCMA-ES. In this paper, we benchmark th...
