Description
Course Overview
Modern decision-making increasingly relies on data. Therefore, this course focuses on global optimization methods that explicitly leverage data to guide search, improve efficiency, and enhance solution quality. Moreover, you will explore deterministic and stochastic approaches, surrogate-based models, and adaptive algorithms that scale to high-dimensional problems. As a result, you will gain a strong conceptual foundation while also building practical skills.
In addition, the course emphasizes applications in engineering, machine learning, economics, and operations research. Consequently, learners can immediately relate abstract methods to real optimization challenges. Throughout the course, instructors actively demonstrate how data transforms classical optimization into intelligent, adaptive systems.
What You Will Learn
- Understand the principles of global optimization and why local methods often fail
- Apply data-driven models such as surrogate functions and response surfaces
- Analyze uncertainty, noise, and constraints in real-world optimization problems
- Implement scalable algorithms for high-dimensional and expensive functions
- Evaluate optimization performance using practical metrics and benchmarks
Furthermore, each topic builds progressively, so you can confidently advance from fundamentals to advanced applications.
Applications and Use Cases
Data-driven global optimization plays a critical role in many domains. For example, engineers use it to design efficient systems, while data scientists apply it to hyperparameter tuning in machine learning models. Similarly, economists rely on these methods for policy optimization under uncertainty. Because of this versatility, the skills you gain remain highly transferable.
