Efficiently Estimating Optimal Hyperparameter Scaling Laws through Power-Law Entropy Search

Zhiliang Chen, Sebastian Ament, David Eriksson +4

Optimal hyperparameter scaling laws describe how the best hyperparameters for large language model (LLM) training change with model and data scale, enabling practitioners to predic…

Evaluating for the long term: Learnings from industry

Leif Sigerson, Tom Cunningham, Winston Chou +22

Online platforms prioritize long-term business outcomes, yet typical experiments are far too short to measure these outcomes directly. Our goal in this paper is to collect and shar…

Offline-to-Online Creative Optimization with Generative Models and Adaptive Testing

Kevin Lee, Benjamin Letham, Zhiyuan Jerry Lin +5

Ad creative optimization is increasingly constrained by evaluation rather than generation. Generative models can produce many plausible creatives, but reliable evaluation requires…

Pitfalls and Remedies for Multi-Task Bayesian Optimization

Carl Hvarfner, Sam Daulton, Max Balandat +1

Bayesian optimization routinely warm-starts a target experiment with data from related source tasks, and the multi-task Gaussian process is the textbook surrogate for the job. We r…

-PFN: Fast Entropy Search via In-Context Learning

Herilalaina Rakotoarison, Steven Adriaensen, Tom Viering +4

Information-theoretic acquisition functions such as Entropy Search (ES) offer a principled exploration-exploitation framework for Bayesian optimization (BO). However, their practic…

Embedding by Elicitation: Dynamic Representations for Bayesian Optimization of System Prompts

Zhiyuan Jerry Lin, Benjamin Letham, Samuel Dooley +2

System prompts are a central control mechanism in modern AI systems, shaping behavior across conversations, tasks, and user populations. Yet they are difficult to tune when feedbac…
