Yeah, someone rediscovered Kolmogorov path-dependent equations (probably Smoluchowski's in this case) and applied them to another optimization problem. Shock horror that well described old optimization technique works better than winging it with pure variant of gradient descent for some problems.

Rediscovery of anomalous diffusion statistics.
