We examine the theoretical and numerical global convergence properties of a certain "gradient free" stochastic approximation algorithm called the "simultaneous pertu...
This paper presents the result for Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation (SPSA) on the BBOB 2010 noiseless testbed. SPSA is a stochastic gradient approximation strate...

Abstract. We present a technique for learning the parameters of a continuousstate Markov random field (MRF) model of optical flow, by minimizing the training loss for a set of grou...
