New probabilistic method tackles budget-constrained optimization for sensor placement

This paper introduces a novel probabilistic method for solving binary optimization problems with budget limitations, particularly applied to sensor placement. The approach models the experimental design as a random variable with a conditional distribution that accounts for budget constraints. By optimizing the expected value of the objective function over distribution parameters, the method efficiently samples the feasible region, significantly reducing computational costs compared to soft constraint methods. The technique is validated through numerical experiments involving optimal sensor placement for an advection-diffusion model. AI
