Recent advances of derivative-free optimization allow efficient approximating the global optimal solutions of sophisticated functions, such as functions with many local optima, non-differentiable and non-continuous functions. This article describes the ZOOpt/ZOOjl toolbox that provides efficient derivative-free solvers and are designed easy to use. ZOOpt provides a Python package for single-thread optimization, and ZOOjl provides a distributed version with the help of the Julia language for Python described functions. ZOOpt/ZOOjl toolbox particularly focuses on optimization problems in machine learning, addressing high-dimensional, noisy, and large-scale problems. The toolbox is being maintained toward ready-to-use tools in real-world machine learning tasks Homepage: https://github.com/eyounx/ZOOpt Source Code: https://github.com/eyounx/ZOOpt Keywords: Derivative-free optimization; Hyper-parameter optimization; Non-convex optimization; Subset selection; Distributed optimization; arXiv; Learning; arXiv cs.LG; Machine Learning; arXiv stat.ML Related Software: Python; Auto-WEKA; ZOOjl; ImageProjectiveGeometry.jl; NearestNeighbors.jl; PRMLT; AlexNet; Metalhead.jl; LightNLP.jl; BAMSE; Fizzy; Lingvo; Kpax3; pyGCluster; GmmFlow.jl; EmpiriciSN; LIBSVM.jl; BSMac; Jlnv; GCNv2 Cited in: 1 Publication all top 5 Cited by 6 Authors 1 Cuomo, Salvatore 1 Gao, Kaifeng 1 Huo, Zenan 1 Mei, Gang 1 Piccialli, Francesco 1 Tu, Jingzhi Cited in 1 Serial 1 Computer Science Review Cited in 1 Field 1 Computer science (68-XX) Citations by Year
