Evidence for Invariants in Local Search
It is well known that the performance of a stochastic local search procedure depends upon the setting of its noise parameter, and that the optimal setting varies with the problem ...

Evolving prediction weights using evolution strategy
The evolution strategy is one of the strongest evolutionary algorithms for optimizing real-value vectors. In this paper, we study how to use it for the evolution of prediction wei...
