Zeroth-Order Nonconvex Stochastic Optimization: Handling Constraints, High Dimensionality, and Saddle Points

In this paper, we propose and analyze zeroth-order stochastic approximation algorithms for nonconvex and convex optimization, with a focus on addressing constrained optimization, high-dimensional setting, and saddle point avoiding. To handle constrained optimization, we first propose generalizations...
