I took examples/surrogates/sample-code-surrogate-rsvm.cc and set dim=30, alg=acmaes, fixed seed=12345. Then, running with set_exploit(true) and set_exploit(false) one sees (figure attached) that exploitation not only does not help, but essentially breaks convergence. For low dimensions, e.g. dim=5-15, it works well however. Any idea how to make it efficient for higher dim?
