Genetic Drift Regularization: on preventing Actor Injection from breaking Evolution Strategies

no code implementations7 May 2024 Paul Templier, Emmanuel Rachelson, Antoine Cully, Dennis G. Wilson

Here, we highlight the phenomenon of genetic drift where the actor genome and the ES population distribution progressively drift apart, leading to injection having a negative impact on the ES.

Quality with Just Enough Diversity in Evolutionary Policy Search

no code implementations7 May 2024 Paul Templier, Luca Grillotti, Emmanuel Rachelson, Dennis G. Wilson, Antoine Cully

Evolution Strategies (ES) are effective gradient-free optimization methods that can be competitive with gradient-based approaches for policy search.

Searching Search Spaces: Meta-evolving a Geometric Encoding for Neural Networks

no code implementations20 Mar 2024 Tarek Kunze, Paul Templier, Dennis G Wilson

Indirect encoding methods, where each gene can encode for multiple weights, shorten the genome to reduce the dimensions of the search space and better exploit permutations and symmetries.
