Tang, Shi Yuan (author), Oliehoek, F.A. (author), Irissappane, Athirai A. (author), Zhang, Jie (author)Cross-Entropy Method (CEM) is a gradient-free direct policy search method, which has greater stability and is insensitive to hyperparameter tuning. CEM bears similarity to population-based evolutionary methods, but, rather than using a population it uses a distribution over candidate solutions (policies in our case). Usually, a natural...conference paper 2021

Tang, X. (author), Bassir, D.H. (author), Zhang, W. (author)In this work, we explore simultaneous designs of materials selection and structural optimization. As the material selection turns out to be a discrete process that finds the optimal distribution of materials over the design domain, it cannot be performed with common gradient-based optimization methods. In this paper, material selection is...journal article 2010
