This work introduces solar, a collection of ten optimization problem instances for benchmarking blackbox optimization solvers. The instances present differ...

The fine-tuning of Large Language Models (LLMs) has enabled them to recently achieve milestones in natural language processing applications. The emergenc...

NOMAD is software for optimizing blackbox problems. In continuous development since 2001, it constantly evolved with the integration of new algorithmic...

The performance of deep neural networks is highly sensitive to the choice of the hyperparameters that define the structure of the network and the learning pr...

We are interested in blackbox optimization for which the user is aware of monotonic behaviour of some constraints defining the problem. That is, when incr...

The mesh adaptive direct search (MADS) algorithm is designed for blackbox optimization problems for which the functions defining the objective and the constr...

Despite the lack of theoretical and practical convergence support, the Nelder-Mead (NM) algorithm is widely used to solve unconstrained optimization proble...

Les problèmes d'optimisation de boîtes noires sont souvent contaminés par du bruit numérique, et les méthodes de recherche directe telles que l'algorithme de...
