The effect of smooth parametrizations on nonconvex optimization landscapes
We develop new tools to study landscapes in nonconvex optimization. Given one optimization problem, we pair it with another by smoothly parametrizing the domain. This is either for practical purposes (e.g., to use smooth optimization algorithms with good g ...
Springer Heidelberg2024A Streamline Upwind Petrov-Galerkin Reduced Order Method for Advection-Dominated Partial Differential Equations Under Optimal Control
Fabio Zoccolan, Gianluigi Rozza
In this paper we will consider distributed Linear-Quadratic Optimal Control Problems dealing with Advection-Diffusion PDEs for high values of the Peclet number. In this situation, computational instabilities occur, both for steady and unsteady cases. A Str ...
Walter De Gruyter Gmbh2024Relaxing the Additivity Constraints in Decentralized No-Regret High-Dimensional Bayesian Optimization
Bayesian Optimization (BO) is typically used to optimize an unknown function f that is noisy and costly to evaluate, by exploiting an acquisition function that must be maximized at each optimization step. Even if provably asymptotically optimal BO algorith ...
2024Novel Ordering-based Approaches for Causal Structure Learning in the Presence of Unobserved Variables
We propose ordering-based approaches for learning the maximal ancestral graph (MAG) of a structural equation model (SEM) up to its Markov equivalence class (MEC) in the presence of unobserved variables. Existing ordering-based methods in the literature rec ...
Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI)2023Optimization Over Banach Spaces: A Unified View on Supervised Learning and Inverse Problems
In this thesis, we reveal that supervised learning and inverse problems share similar mathematical foundations. Consequently, we are able to present a unified variational view of these tasks that we formulate as optimization problems posed over infinite-di ...
EPFL2022Memory of Motion for Initializing Optimization in Robotics
Many robotics problems are formulated as optimization problems. However, most optimization solvers in robotics are locally optimal and the performance depends a lot on the initial guess. For challenging problems, the solver will often get stuck at poor loc ...
EPFL2022A chance-constraint approach for optimizing Social Engagement-based services
Michel Bierlaire, Edoardo Fadda
Social Engagement is a novel business model transforming final users of a service from passive into active components. In this framework, people are contacted by a company and they are asked to perform tasks in exchange for a reward. This arises the compli ...
IEEE2022Non-intrusive double-greedy parametric model reduction by interpolation of frequency-domain rational surrogates
Fabio Nobile, Davide Pradovera
We propose a model order reduction approach for non-intrusive surrogate modeling of parametric dynamical systems. The reduced model over the whole parameter space is built by combining surrogates in frequency only, built at few selected values of the param ...
2021State of the Art on Computational Design of Assemblies with Rigid Parts
An assembly refers to a collection of parts joined together to achieve a specific form and/or functionality. Designing assemblies is a non-trivial task as a slight local modification on a part's geometry or its joining method could have a global impact on ...
