Abstract:
|
In this tutorial, we will give a basic introduction to evolution strategies, a class of evolutionary algorithms which is characterized by features such as self-adaptive (self-learning) strategy parameters (i.e., mutation step sizes), which allow the algorithm to adapt to the task at hand. The main algorithmic components are described, and we will explain to differences to genetic algorithms. Moreover, we also give some examples of practical applications of evolution strategies and the benefits of these algorithms for solving high-dimensional nonlinear global optimization problems.
