BBOB - Black Box Optimization
[edit]Might be useful for main article to discuss performance of different algorithms in black box optimization, and impact of noise, separability, etc. http://coco.gforge.inria.fr/doku.php?id=bbob-2015-results
Also useful to distinguish between the goals of finding global optima, and goal to minimize function calls when they are expensive.

Needs Examples
[edit]Nothing here actually gives the reader any clue as to how Derivative-free optimization works.
Currently the title conveys all of the exact same information in the article. We should provide examples of Derivative-free optimization and explain what methods are used in place of traditional derivative-based optimization. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.234.225.13 (talk) 14:47, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
