TPE-based hyperparameter optimization and transferability study for ES-HyperNEAT
A new arXiv paper applies a Tree-structured Parzen Estimator method to tune the hyperparameters of ES-HyperNEAT, a neuroevolution technique for growing neural networks. The work analyzes both how effectively this optimization improves results and whether the best settings transfer across problems. The authors note that NEAT-family methods remain highly sensitive to hyperparameter choices.
