چکیده

A new adaptation scheme for adapting arbitrary normal mutation distributions in evolution strategies is introduced. It can adapt correct scaling and correlations between object parameters. Furthermore, it is independent of any rotation of the objective function and reliably adapts mutation distributions corresponding to hyperellipsoids with high axis ratio. In simulations, the generating set adaptation is compared to two other schemes which also can produce non axis-parallel mutation ellipsoids. It turns out to be the only adaptation scheme which is completely independent of the chosen coordinate system.

Completely Derandomized Self-Adaptation in Evolution Strategies

This paper puts forward two useful methods for self-adaptation of the mutation distribution - the concepts of derandomization and cumulation. Principle shortcomings of the concept of mutative strategy parameter control and two levels of derandomization are reviewed. Basic demands on the self-adaptation of arbitrary (normal) mutation distributions are developed. Applying arbitrary, normal mutati...

An Evolution Strategy with Coordinate System Invariant Adaptation of Arbitrary Normal Mutation Distributions Within the Concept of Mutative Strategy Parameter Control

A self-adaptation of arbitrary normal mutation distributions within the concept of muta-tive strategy parameter control (MSC) using a newly formulated mutation operator is introduced. The coordinate system independent formulation ensures the invariance of the algorithm towards arbitrary linear transformations , which is a novelty for self-adaptation within the concept of MSC. To enable a sensib...

THE CMA EVOLUTION STRATEGY BASED SIZE OPTIMIZATION OF TRUSS STRUCTURES

Evolution Strategies (ES) are a class of Evolutionary Algorithms based on Gaussian mutation and deterministic selection. Gaussian mutation captures pair-wise dependencies between the variables through a covariance matrix. Covariance Matrix Adaptation (CMA) is a method to update this covariance matrix. In this paper, the CMA-ES, which has found many applications in solving continuous optimizatio...

Adapting Arbitrary Normal Mutation Distributions in Evolution Strategies: The Covariance Matrix Adaptation

|A new formulation for coordinate system independent adaptation of arbitrary normal mutation distributions with zero mean is presented. This enables the evolution strategy (ES) to adapt the correct scaling of a given problem and also ensures invariance with respect to any rotation of the tness function (or the coordinate system). Especially rotation invariance, here resulting directly from the ...

Sample-oriented Domain Adaptation for Image Classification

Image processing is a method to perform some operations on an image, in order to get an enhanced image or to extract some useful information from it. The conventional image processing algorithms cannot perform well in scenarios where the training images (source domain) that are used to learn the model have a different distribution with test images (target domain). Also, many real world applicat...
