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 +5
Information-theoretic acquisition functions such as Entropy Search (ES) offer a principled exploration-exploitation framework for Bayesian optimization (BO). However, their practic…
LILO: Bayesian Optimization with Natural Language Feedback
Katarzyna Kobalczyk, Zhiyuan Jerry Lin, Benjamin Letham +3
Many real-world optimization problems are guided by complex, subjective preferences that are difficult to express as explicit closed-form objectives. In response, we introduce Lang…
BONSAI: Bayesian Optimization with Natural Simplicity and Interpretability
Samuel Daulton, David Eriksson, Maximilian Balandat +1
Bayesian optimization (BO) is a popular technique for sample-efficient optimization of black-box functions. In many applications, the parameters being tuned come with a carefully e…
Empirical Gaussian Processes
Jihao Andreas Lin, Sebastian Ament, Louis C. Tiao +3
Gaussian processes (GPs) are powerful and widely used probabilistic regression models, but their effectiveness in practice is often limited by the choice of kernel function. This k…
Informed Initialization for Bayesian Optimization and Active Learning
Carl Hvarfner, David Eriksson, Eytan Bakshy +1
Bayesian Optimization is a widely used method for optimizing expensive black-box functions, relying on probabilistic surrogate models such as Gaussian Processes. The quality of the…
