arXiv:2603. 09793v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Bayesian optimization is a data-efficient technique that has been shown to be extremely powerful to optimize expensive, black-box, and possibly noisy objective functions.
arXiv:2606. 17523v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Information-Geometric Optimization (IGO) provides a unified framework for black-box optimization by interpreting the adaptation of a search distribution as a natural gradient update.
arXiv:2606. 24157v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The space $\mathcal{P}_2(\mathbb{R}^d$) of probability measures with finite second moment carries a natural geometry: the quadratic Wasserstein distance W_2 makes it a complete metric space and, following Otto, a (formal) Riemannian manifold whose geodesics are the optimal-transport interpolations.
arXiv:2607. 01080v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We investigate Gaussian process (GP) bandit optimization with quantum kernels, assuming the mean reward function lies in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) induced by the quantum kernel.
arXiv:2511. 13391v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Since Isaac Newton first studied the Kissing Number Problem in 1694, determining the maximal number of non-overlapping spheres around a central sphere has remained a defining challenge in discrete geometry.
arXiv:2607. 06723v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Most gradient-based optimization methods move parameters through a fixed background geometry, even when their internal states implicitly define changing notions of length, curvature, and preconditioning.
