trust-tech paradigm for nonlinear optimization: theory, methods and practical applications
abstract: optimization technology has practical applications in science, business and engineering. the solution space of nonlinear optimization problems generally contains only one global optimal solution and many local optimal solutions. from a practical viewpoint, there are strong motivations to develop effective methods for finding the global optimal solution. we have developed a novel paradigm, termed trust-tech, for nonlinear optimization. which has been applied to machine learning, optimal power flow, image and signal processing, artificial network training and was awarded three usa patents. in this talk, i will present the theoretical basis for and practical applications of trust-tech to machine learning, and large-scale optimal power flow. (of 200,000 dimension). in addition, a new meta-heuristic-assisted trust-tech optimization methodology will be presented.
