报告摘要Machine learning tasks often involve complex optimization, like black-box and multi-objective optimization, which may make conventional optimization algorithms fail. Evolutionary algorithms, inspired by Darwin’s theory of evolution, have yielded encouraging outcomes. However, due to their heuristic nature, most outcomes to date have been empirical and lack theoretical support. In this talk, I will introduce our efforts towards building the theoretical foundation of evolutionary learning and developing better algorithms inspired by theories. Finally, I will introduce some successful applications in industry (e.g., electronic design automation) and science (e.g., studying the origin and evolution of life).
