AWhat changed
Analyzes and tests independent random configurations as a baseline against grids, showing why low effective-dimensional objectives can waste many grid coordinates.
Scientific scope
Analyzes and tests independent random configurations as a baseline against grids, showing why low effective-dimensional objectives can waste many grid coordinates. Not invention of random global search, nor a theorem that random beats every grid for all functions. Advantages depend on effective dimensions, sampling distribution and budget; low-dimensional regular grids can be more efficient. This is the2012JMLRoriginal.
