Leveraging Axis-Aligned Subspaces for High-Dimensional Bayesian Optimization with Group Testing
Erik Hellsten, Carl Hvarfner, Leonard Papenmeier +1
Bayesian optimization (BO ) is an effective method for optimizing expensive-to-evaluate black-box functions. While high-dimensional problems can be particularly challenging, due to…
