Replicator Equation: Applications Revisited
This is an incremental review that synthesizes existing knowledge on the replicator equation for researchers in machine learning and computer vision.
The paper revisits the replicator equation, a model from evolutionary game theory originally used in biology, and explores its applications in machine learning and computer vision, though it does not present new results or concrete numbers.
The replicator equation is a simple model of evolution that leads to stable form of Nash Equilibrium, Evolutionary Stable Strategy (ESS). It has been studied in connection with Evolutionary Game Theory and was originally developed for symmetric games. Beyond its first emphasis in biological use, evolutionary game theory has been expanded well beyond in social studies for behavioral analysis, in machine learning, computer vision and others. Its several applications in the fields of machine learning and computer vision has drawn my attention which is the reason to write this extended abstract
