Maximizing Monotone DR-submodular Continuous Functions by Derivative-free Optimization
Yibo Zhang, Chao Qian, Ke Tang
In this paper, we study the problem of monotone (weakly) DR-submodular continuous maximization. While previous methods require the gradient information of the objective function, w…

Analysis of Noisy Evolutionary Optimization When Sampling Fails
Chao Qian, Chao Bian, Yang Yu +2
In noisy evolutionary optimization, sampling is a common strategy to deal with noise. By the sampling strategy, the fitness of a solution is evaluated multiple times (called \emph{…

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,…
