Evolution Strategies with Exclusion-Based Selection Operators and a Fourier Series Auxiliary Function
Abstract. To improve the efficiency of the currently known evolutionary algorithms, we have proposed two complementary efficiency speed-up strategies in our previous research work ...

An Approach to Formal Verification of Arithmetic Functions in Assembly
Abstract. It is customary to write performance-critical parts of arithmetic functions in assembly: this enables finely-tuned algorithms that use specialized processor instructions....

Geometric Variance Reduction in Markov Chains: Application to Value Function and Gradient Estimation
We study a sequential variance reduction technique for Monte Carlo estimation of functionals in Markov Chains. The method is based on designing sequential control variates using s...

Cubature formulas for function spaces with moderate smoothness
We construct simple algorithms for high-dimensional numerical integration of function classes with moderate smoothness. These classes consist of square-integrable functions over t...

Evolution of reward functions for reinforcement learning
The reward functions that drive reinforcement learning systems are generally derived directly from the descriptions of the problems that the systems are being used to solve. In so...
