Hi Ahn
Thank you for your feedback.

• In this file: sferes/modif/novelty.hpp, after lowering the rho_min, I think we need to reset the _not_added to be 0; otherwise every generation after this, the accumulated _not_added will always be larger than Params::novelty::stalled_tresh, resulting in _rho_min keeps getting lowered.
// update rho_min
if (_not_added > Params::novelty::stalled_tresh)//2500
{
_rho_min
*= 0.95
;
_not_added
= 0; // <--- suggested change}
Done. Thank you. Note that you may want to have a lower threshold in this case: if you start with rho_min that is too high, you will need a lot of evaluation before reaching the “right value”.
• I find that after satisfying this check (n > _rho_min || misc::rand() < Params::novelty::add_to_archive_prob) (in the code below), one individual will be added directly to the archive. However, there is a chance that this individual is exactly the same as one already in the archive or very close to one in the archive (distance ~ 0).
if (n >
_rho_min|| misc::rand() < Params::novelty::
add_to_archive_prob) {
_archive
.push_back(ea.
pop()[i]);
_not_added
= 0
;++
added;
}So I'm wondering if adding another check condition would help the search more efficient.
What do you think?
That’s a good point but it would also add a new parameter (the threshold) and I don’t think it is in the original novelty search paper.

This piece of advice is very useful, thank you!
