This research proposes a novel black-box optimization framework on spherical manifolds by leveraging information geometry and Kuramoto oscillator ensembles to compute natural search gradients. The work establishes a theoretical link between these gradient policies in Bergman balls and quantum decision-making, bridging classical optimization with quantum physics concepts. For a technical audience, the core contribution lies in the rigorous derivation of optimization flows on non-Euclidean spaces, offering potential new directions for evolutionary computing and geometric machine learning.
Information-Geometric Optimization on Spheres
arXiv:2606.07588v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider the black-box optimization problem on a sphere. Two information-geometric optimization flows (IGO flows) are designed with rigorous calculation of natural search gradients based on hyperbolic (information) geometry of Poincar\' e and Bergman balls. We demonstrate that ensembles of generalized Kuramoto oscillators on spheres compute natural search gradients and realize IGO algorithms on both manifolds. The relationship between natural gradient policies in Bergman balls and quantum decision making is pointed out.
