Abstract

We will discuss linear, and also, time permitting, nonlinear techniques for reducing the dimension of problems and algorithms in the absence of derivatives. We will discuss various aspects of subspace techniques in model-based optimization problems, both randomised and deterministic, first- and second-order, low-rank and full rank. Numerical experiments and theoretical results will be presented. Time permitting, we will present machine learning based dimensionality reduction techniques that we use in the context of Bayesian optimization methods.
