s3-bbo

• Title: Threefold Scalability in Any-objective Black-Box Optimization

• International Partner (Institution - Laboratory - Researcher):

  • Shinshu (Japan) - Tanaka-Hernan-Akimoto Laboratory - Hernan Aguirre

• Start year: 2015

• This associate team brings together researchers from the TAO and Dolphin Inria teams with researchers from Shinshu university in Japan. Additionally, researchers from the University of Calais are external collaborators to the team. The common interest is on black-box single and multi-objective optimization with complementary expertises ranging from theoretical and fundamental aspects over algorithm design to solving industrial applications. The work that we want to pursue in the context of the associate team is focused on black-box optimization of problems with a large number of decision variables and one or several functions to evaluate solutions, employing distributed and parallel computing resources. The objective is to theoretically derive, analyze, design, and develop scalable black-box stochastic algorithms including evolutionary algorithms for large-scale optimization considering three different axes of scalability: (i) decision space, (ii) objective space, and (iii) availability of distributed and parallel computing resources.

  We foresee that the associate team will make easier the collaboration already existing through a proposal funded by Japan and open-up a long term fruitful collaboration between Inria and Shinshu university. The collaboration will be through exchanging researchers and Ph.D. students and co-organization of workshops.
