MiniOpt: Reasoning to Model and Solve General Optimization Problems with Limited Resources
Ke Zhao, Zixiang Di, Hong Qian +9
Achieving strong optimization generalization across diverse optimization problems while requiring limited training resources remains a challenging problem for optimization-oriented…
Unified Policy Optimization for Continuous-action Reinforcement Learning in Non-stationary Tasks and Games
Rong-Jun Qin, Fan-Ming Luo, Hong Qian +1
This paper addresses policy learning in non-stationary environments and games with continuous actions. Rather than the classical reward maximization mechanism, inspired by the idea…
BBTv2: Towards a Gradient-Free Future with Large Language Models
Tianxiang Sun, Zhengfu He, Hong Qian +3
Most downstream adaptation methods tune all or part of the parameters of pre-trained models (PTMs) through gradient descent, where the tuning cost increases linearly with the growt…
Black-Box Tuning for Language-Model-as-a-Service
Tianxiang Sun, Yunfan Shao, Hong Qian +2
Extremely large pre-trained language models (PTMs) such as GPT-3 are usually released as a service. It allows users to design task-specific prompts to query the PTMs through some b…
Derivative-Free Reinforcement Learning: A Review
Hong Qian, Yang Yu
Reinforcement learning is about learning agent models that make the best sequential decisions in unknown environments. In an unknown environment, the agent needs to explore the env…
ZOOpt: Toolbox for Derivative-Free Optimization
Yu-Ren Liu, Yi-Qi Hu, Hong Qian +2
Recent advances in derivative-free optimization allow efficient approximation of the global-optimal solutions of sophisticated functions, such as functions with many local optima,…
The Sampling-and-Learning Framework: A Statistical View of Evolutionary Algorithms
Yang Yu, Hong Qian
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs), a large class of general purpose optimization algorithms inspired from the natural phenomena, are widely used in various industrial optimizations and…
