Stochastic trust region gradient-free method (strong): a new response-surface-based algorithm in simulation optimization
Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a metamodelbased optimization method. Its strategy is to explore small subregions of the parameter space in succession instead of attempting ...

The Cross Entropy Method for Fast Policy Search
We present a learning framework for Markovian decision processes that is based on optimization in the policy space. Instead of using relatively slow gradient-based optimization al...

A Cross-Entropy Method that Optimizes Partially Decomposable Problems: A New Way to Interpret NMR Spectra
Some real-world problems are partially decomposable, in that they can be decomposed into a set of coupled subproblems, that are each relatively easy to solve. However, when these ...
