We Still Don't Understand High-Dimensional Bayesian Optimization

Colin Doumont, Donney Fan, Natalie Maus +3

Existing high-dimensional Bayesian optimization (BO) methods aim to overcome the curse of dimensionality by carefully encoding structural assumptions, from locality to sparsity to…

Approximation-Aware Bayesian Optimization

Natalie Maus, Kyurae Kim, Geoff Pleiss +3

High-dimensional Bayesian optimization (BO) tasks such as molecular design often require 10,000 function evaluations before obtaining meaningful results. While methods like sparse…
