Active Bayesian Optimization: Minimizing Minimizer Entropy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The ultimate goal of optimization is to find the minimizer of a target function.However, typical criteria for active optimization often ignore the uncertainty about the minimizer.

An informational approach to the global optimization of expensive-to-evaluate functions

open access: yes, 2007
In many global optimization problems motivated by engineering applications, the number of function evaluations is severely limited by time or cost. To ensure that each evaluation contributes to the localization of good candidates for the role of global ...

Machine Learning in Quasi-Newton Methods

open access: yesAxioms
In this article, we consider the correction of metric matrices in quasi-Newton methods (QNM) from the perspective of machine learning theory. Based on training information for estimating the matrix of the second derivatives of a function, we formulate a ...

The True Destination of EGO is Multi-local Optimization

open access: yes, 2017
Efficient global optimization is a popular algorithm for the optimization of expensive multimodal black-box functions. One important reason for its popularity is its theoretical foundation of global convergence.

Global optimization of dielectric metasurfaces using a physics-driven neural network [PDF]

open access: yesNano letters (Print), 2019
We present a global optimizer, based on a conditional generative neural network, which can output ensembles of highly efficient topology-optimized metasurfaces operating across a range of parameters.

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...
