Bayesian Optimization with Preference Exploration using a Monotonic Neural Network Ensemble
Hanyang Wang, Juergen Branke, Matthias Poloczek
Many real-world black-box optimization problems have multiple conflicting objectives. Rather than attempting to approximate the entire set of Pareto-optimal solutions, interactive…
Respecting the limit:Bayesian optimization with a bound on the optimal value
Hanyang Wang, Juergen Branke, Matthias Poloczek
In many real-world optimization problems, we have prior information about what objective function values are achievable. In this paper, we study the scenario that we have either ex…
Bayesian Optimization of Bilevel Problems
Omer Ekmekcioglu, Nursen Aydin, Juergen Branke
Bilevel optimization, a hierarchical mathematical framework where one optimization problem is nested within another, has emerged as a powerful tool for modeling complex decision-ma…
Identifying the Best Arm in the Presence of Global Environment Shifts
Phurinut Srisawad, Juergen Branke, Long Tran-Thanh
This paper formulates a new Best-Arm Identification problem in the non-stationary stochastic bandits setting, where the means of all arms are shifted in the same way due to a globa…
