今天准备写一篇有关Natural Evolution Strategies (NES)的笔记,NES的思想非常类似于policy gradient,其中的方法论也可以给policy gradient一些启发。 一、Search Gradients & Search Distribution NES的大致方法如下,首先假设,我们有一群小人,然后每个小人都一些参数(比方说攻击力、防御力、体力值之类的,具体参数是什么并...
This paper presents Natural Evolution Strategies (NES), a recent family of black-box optimization algorithms that use the natural gradient to update a parameterized search distribution in the direction of higher expected fitness. We introduce a collection of techniques that address issues of convergence...
NES 的方法其实和强化学习中Policy Gradient的方法非常接近. 简单来概括一下它们的不同: 在行为的策略上, PG 是扰动 Action, 不同的 action 带来不同的 reward, 通过 reward 大小对应上 action 来计算 gradient, 再反向传递 gradient. 但是 ES 是扰动 神经网络中的 Parameters, 不同的 parameters 带来不同的 r...

VSVs is maintained or even further attenuated in nonmalignant cells7,8,9. These studies suggest that the application of directed evolution strategies could make OVs adapt to various heterogeneous tumor cells without damaging normal cells. M1 is an enveloped positive-strand RNA alphavirus with a ...

BackgroundVariation of resource supply is one of the key factors that drive the evolution of life-history strategies, and hence the interactions between individuals. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, two life-history strategies related to different resource utilization have been previously described ...
Fig. 2: Trait values after eight generations of experimental evolution. Replicate populations (3/treatment) were exposed to either male-only predation (middle columns), female-only predation (right-hand columns) or no predation (controls: left-hand columns), and effects on a range of traits was...
these projects harness the potential of water reuse to transform wastewater into a valuable resource. In this blog, we explore the concept of design-build water reuse, its benefits, implementation strategies, and the transformative impact it holds for creating more resilient and sustainable water syst...
