Enhancing finite-difference based derivative-free optimization methods with machine learning
Timothé Taminiau, Estelle Massart, Geovani Nunes Grapiglia
Derivative-Free Optimization (DFO) involves methods that rely solely on evaluations of the objective function. One of the earliest strategies for designing DFO methods is to adapt…
