Approximating Hessian matrices using Bayesian inference: a new approach for quasi-Newton methods in stochastic optimization

Andre Carlon, Luis Espath, Raul Tempone

Using quasi-Newton methods in stochastic optimization is not a trivial task given the difficulty of extracting curvature information from the noisy gradients. Moreover, pre-conditi…

Small-noise approximation for Bayesian optimal experimental design with nuisance uncertainty

Arved Bartuska, Luis Espath, Raúl Tempone

Calculating the expected information gain in optimal Bayesian experimental design typically relies on nested Monte Carlo sampling. When the model also contains nuisance parameters,…
