However, the standard SVGD necessitates calculating the gradient of the target density and therefore cannot be used where the gradient is unavailable or too expensive to evaluate. A gradient-free variant (GF-SVG

In this technical note we compare the performance of four gradient-free MCMC samplers (random walk Metropolis sampling, slice-sampling, adaptive MCMC sampling and population-based MCMC sampling with tempering) in terms of the number of independent samples they can produce per unit computational time....
Gradient-Free Optimization 6.1 Introduction Using optimization in the solution of practical applications we often encounter one or more of the following challenges: • non-differentiable functions and/or constraints • disconnected and/or non-convex feasible space • discrete feasible space •...
be trained using gradient descent. Training still relies on floating-point numbers, and the weights are quantized afterward for inference. This made me wonder for the first time: could there be a point where using gradient-free methods instead of gradient descent might make training more efficient...
在《扫地僧Backtrader给力教程系列一:量化回测核心篇 增订版》中,我们介绍了backtrader中一个执行大规模参数优化的包optunity,但它有个缺点,就是其内部对要优化的参数搜索的是连续浮点数,因此在策略里必须对参数取整,这实际上导致一些无效搜索,降低了性能。 好在还有一个包gradient-free-optimizers(安装方法:pip install...
Gradient Free Optimization(无梯度优化算法)是一种优化方法,它不需要目标函数可导,适用于离散的不连续或者其他非连续问题。最常用的无梯度优化算法有遗传算法、粒子群算法、模拟退火算法和Nelder- Mead simplex algorithm。 具体来说,遗传算法是基于生物进化原理的一种优化算法,通过模拟基因遗传和突变的过程来搜索最优解...

with convex feasible set Q and convex objective f possessing the zeroth-order (gradient/derivative-free) oracle [83]. The latter means that one has an access only to the values of the objective f(x) rather than to its gradient ∇f(x) that is more popular for numerical methods [77, ...
