The content presents a novel derivative-free optimization algorithm called DOTS (Derivative-free stOchastic Tree Search) that can efficiently optimize high-dimensional complex systems.
The key highlights are:
DOTS constructs a stochastic search tree with a short-range backpropagation mechanism and a dynamic upper confidence bound (DUCB) to balance exploration and exploitation.
DOTS outperforms state-of-the-art optimization algorithms by 10-20 fold on benchmark functions up to 2,000 dimensions, achieving 100% convergence ratio on major test functions.
DOTS is integrated with machine learning models and high-fidelity simulators to build self-driving virtual laboratories (SVLs) for real-world complex systems in materials, physics, and biology, demonstrating superior performance compared to existing methods.
Detailed analyses reveal that the local backpropagation, adaptive exploration, and top-visit sampling are the key components enabling DOTS to navigate vast search spaces and autonomously discover new knowledge across different disciplines.
