Leveraging Simplex Gradient Variance and Bias Reduction for Black-Box Optimization of Noisy and Costly Functions by Mircea-Bogdan Radac, Titus Nicolae

“…Gradient variance errors in gradient-based search methods are largely mitigated using momentum, however the bias gradient errors may fail the numerical search methods in reaching the true optimum. We investigate the reduction in both bias and variance errors attributed to the simplex gradient estimated from noisy function measurements, in favor of the finite-differences gradient, when both are used for black-box optimization methods. …”
