The document is from the Department of Electronics and Information at Politecnico di Milano. It discusses a presentation titled "An Information Geometry Perspective on Estimation of Distribution Algorithms: Boundary Analysis" given by Luigi Malagò, Matteo Matteucci, and Bernardo Dal Seno. The presentation agenda includes motivations and context, notions of information geometry, interpreting estimation of distribution algorithm behavior with different statistical manifold parametrizations, and examples and future work. References presented are papers on information geometry by Amari and Toussaint.
