CMA-ES with Restarts for Solving CEC 2013 Benchmark Problems

This paper investigates the performance of 6 versions of Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMAES) with restarts on a set of 28 noiseless optimization problems (including 23 multi-modal ones) designed for the special session on real-parameter ...

Rapid Intrahost Evolution of Human Cytomegalovirus Is Shaped by Demography and Positive Selection

Jeffrey David Jensen

Populations of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a large DNA virus, are highly polymorphic in patient samples, which may allow for rapid evolution within human hosts. To understand HCMV evolution, longitudinally sampled genomic populations from the urine and p ...

Black-box Optimization Benchmarking of NIPOP-aCMA-ES and NBIPOP-aCMA-ES on the BBOB-2012 Noiseless Testbed

Ilya Loshchilov

In this paper, we study the performance of NIPOP-aCMA-ES and NBIPOP-aCMA-ES, recently proposed alternative restart strategies for CMA-ES. Both algorithms were tested using restarts till a total number of function evaluations of

10^6D

was reached, where $ ...

Alternative Restart Strategies for CMA-ES

Ilya Loshchilov

This paper focuses on the restart strategy of CMA-ES on multi-modal functions. A first alternative strategy proceeds by decreasing the initial step-size of the mutation while doubling the population size at each restart. A second strategy adaptively alloca ...

Self-Adaptive Surrogate-Assisted Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy

Ilya Loshchilov

This paper presents a novel mechanism to adapt surrogate-assisted population-based algorithms. This mechanism is applied to ACM-ES, a recently proposed surrogate-assisted variant of CMA-ES. The resulting algorithm, saACM-ES, adjusts online the lifelength o ...

A Finite Population Model of Molecular Evolution: Theory and Computation

Nisheeth Vishnoi

This article is concerned with the evolution of haploid organisms that reproduce asexually. In a seminal piece of work, Eigen and coauthors proposed the quasispecies model in an attempt to understand such an evolutionary process. Their work has impacted an ...

Boosted Hybrid Method for Solving Chemical Reaction Systems with Multiple Scales in Time and Population Size

Assyr Abdulle

A new algorithm, called boosted hybrid method, is proposed for the simulation of chemical reaction systems with scale-separation in time and disparity in species population. For such stiff systems, the algorithm can automatically identify scale-separation ...

Population Size Estimation Using a Few Individuals as Agents

Martin Vetterli, Patrick Thiran, Olivier Dousse, Farid Movahedi Naini

We conduct an experiment where ten attendees of an open-air music festival are acting as Bluetooth probes. We then construct a parametric statistical model to estimate the total number of visible Bluetooth devices in the festival area. By comparing our est ...
