Researchers have developed a new method for constrained black-box optimization by reformulating the problem as posterior inference within the latent space of generative models. This approach uses flow-based models and diffusion models to efficiently search for optimal solutions that satisfy complex constraints. Separately, another framework called BOOOM has been introduced for loss-function-agnostic black-box optimization over orthonormal manifolds, utilizing a novel rotation-based parametrization for derivative-free search.
