New framework optimizes black-box functions with tunable query costs

Researchers have developed a new framework for zeroth-order optimization, which is used when gradients are unavailable and objective evaluations are computationally expensive. This framework considers a tunable oracle fidelity, where higher accuracy queries increase computational cost. The study analyzes the trade-off between query accuracy and cost to determine optimal algorithmic parameters and provides recommendations for practical fidelity and batching strategies. AI

IMPACT Provides a unified methodology to translate convergence guarantees into practical fidelity and batching recommendations for expensive simulations.
