Sample Efficient Graph-Based Optimization with Noisy Observations
Tan Nguyen, Ali Shameli, Yasin Abbasi-Yadkori +2
We study sample complexity of optimizing "hill-climbing friendly" functions defined on a graph under noisy observations. We define a notion of convexity, and we show that a variant…

A Continuation Method for Discrete Optimization and its Application to Nearest Neighbor Classification
Ali Shameli, Yasin Abbasi-Yadkori
The continuation method is a popular approach in non-convex optimization and computer vision. The main idea is to start from a simple function that can be minimized efficiently, an…
