Global Optimization of Gaussian Process Acquisition Functions Using a Piecewise-Linear Kernel Approximation

Yilin Xie, Shiqiang Zhang, Joel A. Paulson +1

Bayesian optimization relies on iteratively constructing and optimizing an acquisition function. The latter turns out to be a challenging, non-convex optimization problem itself. D…

Limeade: Let integer molecular encoding aid

Shiqiang Zhang, Christian W. Feldmann, Frederik Sandfort +3

Mixed-integer programming (MIP) is a well-established framework for computer-aided molecular design (CAMD). By precisely encoding the molecular space and score functions, e.g., a g…
