Abstract:Most existing black-box optimization methods assume that all variables in the system being optimized have equal cost and can change freely at each iteration. However, in many real world systems, inputs are passed through a sequence of different operations or modules, making variables in earlier stages of processing more costly to update. Such structure imposes a cost on switching variables in early parts of a data processing pipeline. In this work, we propose a new algorithm for switch cost-aware optimization … Show more
