Abstract

We are interested in optimizing noisy black-box problems that are non-convex in expectation. Such settings occur in a multitude of engineering and machine learning applications. For the noisy black-boxes that provide direct derivative observations, we devise new variants of trust-region methods that use adaptive sampling schemes and adjusted acceptance criteria to improve the iteration and sample complexity of these algorithms. The resulting methods will have clear implementable guidelines for speedy and robust finite-time performance.
