SMOG: Scalable Meta-Learning for Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization

Leonard Papenmeier, Petru Tighineanu

Multi-objective optimization aims to solve problems with competing objectives. Evaluating such problems is often slow or expensive, limiting the budget of evaluations. In many appl…

Bencher: Simple and Reproducible Benchmarking for Black-Box Optimization

Leonard Papenmeier, Luigi Nardi

We present Bencher, a modular benchmarking framework for black-box optimization that fundamentally decouples benchmark execution from optimization logic. Unlike prior suites that f…

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…
