arXiv:2606. 06984v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents a general acceleration mechanism for multi-objective Bayesian optimisation (MOBO) that leverages Gaussian process predictive gradients as auxiliary signals.
The paper introduces Bayesian Optimization (BO) techniques that incorporate rich auxiliary information—such as training curves, expert notes, images, and prior knowledge—using large language models (LLMs). Three new methods are proposed to integrate this auxiliary data into BO, and they are evaluated on hyperparameter optimization benchmarks and a real-world nuclear fusion task. The results show that these LLM-enhanced BO methods consistently outperform standard BO and existing LLM-based optimization approaches.

arXiv:2509. 21725v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A bilevel optimization problem consists of two optimization problems nested as an upper- and a lower-level problem, in which the optimality of the lower-level problem defines a constraint for the upper-level problem.
arXiv:2607. 29225v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bayesian Optimization (BO) is widely adopted for data-efficient optimization in scientific and engineering applications, yet its computational cost is rarely evaluated alongside optimization performance.
MF-SCBO is a new multi‑fidelity extension of Scalable Constrained Bayesian Optimization designed for high‑dimensional black‑box functions with black‑box constraints. It handles an arbitrary number of fidelity levels and non‑nested sampling, addressing gaps in existing methods. Experiments on standard benchmarks and challenging problems show that MF‑SCBO generally converges faster than both single‑fidelity SCBO and other multi‑fidelity approaches in high‑dimensional constrained settings.
