dc.description.abstract	We evaluate two (1+1)-natural evolution strategies (NES) turned into adaptive Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) samplers on a test suite of probability distributions. We compare their performance with the AM-family of samplers considered to be the state of the art in adaptive MCMC. Our experiments show that natural gradient based adaptation used in NES further improves adaptive MCMC. CCS CONCEPTS • Computing methodologies → Machine learning; Markov decision processes	en_US
