The Covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES) evolves a multivariate Gaussian distribution for continuous optimization. The evolution path, which accumulates historical search direction in successive generations, plays a crucial role in the adaptation of covariance matrix. In this paper, we investigate what the evolution path approximates in the optimization procedure. We show th...

Adaptation is a central concept of modern evolutionary biology, but remains a difficult one nevertheless. Definitions of adaptation are often confounded with definitions of natural selection, rendering them somewhat circular and difficult to operationalize. Williams introduced a definition that avoids such tautology and a strategy for testing adaptive claims against chance as an alternative exp...

The fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster offers promise as a genetically tractable model for studying adaptation to hypoxia at the cellular level, but the metabolic basis for extreme hypoxia tolerance in flies is not well known. Using (1)H NMR spectroscopy, metabolomic profiles were collected under hypoxia. Accumulation of lactate, alanine, and acetate suggested that these are the major end product...

In this article, we propose a hypothesis that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) may acquire neotenic development in consequence of mesocortical dopamine (DA) innervation, which in turn drives evolution of the PFC into the complex brain functional system. Accordingly, in the evolutionary perspective, decreased DA signaling in the PFC associated with such an adverse environmental condition as chronic s...

One important activity in product line engineering is product line production planning, during which stakeholders of a product line determine what and how product line assets are developed and used for product development. Moreover, decisions on which assets should be developed as in-house assets, purchased as COTS, or adapted from open source software (OSS) are made. In [1], we proposed a feat...

In order to automatically select the most suitable strategy for a specific problem without any prior knowledge, in this paper, we present an adaptive parameter selection technique for strategy adaptation in differential evolution (DE). First, a simple strategy adaptation mechanism is employed to implement the adaptive strategy selection in DE. Then, the probabilitymatching-based adaptive parame...
