Abstract
Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for optimizing a result for a combinatorial optimization problem. The method includes one or more processors receiving a black-box model. The method further includes one or more processors learning a multilinear polynomial surrogate model employing an exponential weight update rule. The method further includes one or more processors optimizing the learnt multilinear polynomial surrogate model. The method further includes one or more processors applying the black-box model to the optimized solution found by the multilinear polynomial surrogate model. In an additional aspect, the method of learning an optimized multilinear polynomial surrogate model employing an exponential weight update rule further includes one or more processors calculating utilizing data from the black-box model, an update of the coefficients of the multilinear polynomial surrogate model.
