Expand description
Regularized (aging) evolution for neural architecture search.
Implements the algorithm from:
Real et al. (2019) “Regularized Evolution for Image Classifier Architecture Search” https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.01548
The key idea is a cyclic population (VecDeque): the oldest individual is
evicted whenever the population exceeds population_size, even if it happens
to be the highest-scoring member. This aging pressure prevents premature
convergence and keeps the search exploratory.
The ask/tell API lets the caller supply evaluation scores without any stored objective closure, matching the hyperparameter-optimization convention used elsewhere in this crate.
