Multi-Modal Optimization with SHGA

Important

This tutorial teaches you how to run multi-modal optimization experiments on NAIC Orchestrator VMs using the Scalable Hybrid Genetic Algorithm (SHGA).

The SHGA algorithm finds multiple local and global optima in continuous optimization problems, combining genetic algorithms (global search) with CMA-ES (local refinement).
