Abstract
This study further investigates the complete-basis-functions parameterization method (CBFP) for Evolution Strategies (ES), and its application to a challenging real-life high-dimensional physics optimization problem, namely Femtosecond Laser Pulse Shaping.
The CBFP method, which was introduced recently for tackling efficiently the learning task of n-variables functions, is combined here, for the first time, with niching techniques, and shown to boost the learning process of the given laser problem, and to yield satisfying multiple optima.
Moreover, a technique for learning the basis-functions and improving this method is outlined.
