    • But some algorithms update after each move to a new position.

      • This idea is a similarity as SGD

    • But the point here is if the algorithm doesn't take advantage of the global best solution when updating individual the position then GD or SGD gives the same results.

    • So my idea of batch-size training here is very simple, after batch-size of individuals move, then we will update the global best solution. So:

      • batch-size = 1 ==> SGD
      • batch-size = population-size ==> GD
      • batch-size should set = 10% / 25% / 50% of your population size

    • Some algorithms can't apply the idea of batch-size. For examples:

      • If the original algorithm has already divided the population into m-clan (m-group) --> No need batch-size here
      • If the original algorithm contains multiple-part. Each part contains several types of updating --> No need too.

  • For music_based:
