摘要：In this talk we consider nonlinear least squares problems for which the exact Jacobians are not available and replaced by probabilistic or random models. Problems of this nature arise in important practical applications, such as the data assimilation in weather prediction and the estimation of the merit function in deep learning. We will present some derivative-free algorithms for such problems and show the almost sure global convergence and complexity of the algorithms.
