Extrapolation-based Direct Search for Nonsmooth Stochastic Zeroth-Order Optimization
Anthony Palmieri, Francesco Rinaldi, Sara Shashaani
We propose and analyze a stochastic direct-search method for unconstrained zeroth-order minimization of locally Lipschitz, possibly nonsmooth, objectives. The method combines rando…

Relax and penalize: a new bilevel approach to mixed-binary hyperparameter optimization
Sara Venturini, Marianna de Santis, Jordan Patracone +3
In recent years, bilevel approaches have become very popular to efficiently estimate high-dimensional hyperparameters of machine learning models. However, to date, binary parameter…
