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...
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...
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...

Look-ahead natural evolutionary strategies Natural 1 evolution strategy (NES) algorithms have seen a variety of successful applications recently, but still need to improve algorithmic convergence. To address this issue, we propose the use of a look-ahead scheme predictively to e... J Jia,AA Sald...
Natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (N.O.T.E.S) is a technique that allows access to the peritoneal cavity through natural orifices (oral, rectal, vaginal, vesical) without passing through the anterior abdominal wall. Rapid strides have been made in developing this technique, especially...
Arthropod parasitoids and predators are ubiquitous and operate continuously on all life stages of the whitefly, functioning as control factors in the process. The goal of biological control is to better exploit this behavior in order to more effectively
cells also has great potential to be used in the future [225,226]. In addition, there has been great interest in using matrix derivatives (EMD), bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), platelet rich plasma (PRP) and exploring mineralization strategies for in situ attachment of periodontal membranes...
This study extends our prior research on drought responses in three date palm cultivars (Khalas, Reziz, and Sheshi) under controlled conditions. Here, we investigated their drought stress adaptive strategies under ambient environment. Under natural field
