摘要: The evaluation of the quality solutions is usually very time-consuming in design optimization. Therefore, time-efficient approximate models can be particularly beneficial for when evolutionary algorithms are applied. In this paper, convergence property an evolution strategy (ES) with neural network based fitness evaluations investigated. It found that algorithm will converge incorrectly if model has false optima. To address problem, two strategies to control process introduced. addition, methods eliminate minima training proposed. effectiveness shown simulation studies on Ackley function and Rosenbrock function.
