Figure 1: Body motion in human gaits. The numerical optimization, unbiased by an expectation of what the optimal gaits might be, has thus discovered the classic gaits that caricature walking and ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new evolutionary algorithm referred to as importance search algorithm (ISA) is designed to solve global numerical optimization problems with continuous variables. The ...

This paper presents a numerical comparison between algorithms for unconstrained optimization that take account of sparsity in the second derivative matrix of the objective function. Some of the ...

Today the Numerical Algorithms Group announces the latest version of its flagship software, the NAG Library, Mark 26. In this release, NAG has introduced an Optimization Modeling Suite for linear and ...

We study a class of optimization problems motivated by automating the design and update of AI systems like coding assistants, robots, and copilots. AutoDiff frameworks, like PyTorch, enable efficient ...
