Evolution Through Population-based Training

Inspired by the nature, applied to the future.

Population Evolution - The Dynamics of Agent Improvement

The MetaSpace implements population-based training (PBT) through an evolution mechanism that balances performance optimization with strategic diversity:

$$\theta^{*} = \arg\max_{\theta} \texttt{eval}(\theta)$$

The model parameters are updated from various strategies, we refer them to hyper-parameter $h$.

$$\theta \leftarrow \texttt{step}(\theta|h)$$

• Popular strategies are usually mutated from top performers, whereas the strategies of low performers will retire after several generation iteration.

The performance is defined by evaluation function $\texttt{eval}(\cdot)$. In our system, the function can be constructed from multi-path human feedbacks within AiPP.

• Success Metrics: Track engagement rates, user satisfaction, and recommendation accuracy

• Comparative Analysis: Rank agents based on their relative performance within their specialization

• Strategic Diversity: Monitor and maintain variety in agent approaches and capabilities

This evolutionary architecture ensures continuous system improvement while maintaining the diversity necessary for robust recommendation capabilities and adaptability to changing user needs.
