arXiv:2606. 08438v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Bayesian optimization (BO) is a widely used approach for black-box optimization that uses a Gaussian process (GP) as a surrogate and guides sequential evaluations via an acquisition function, with the ultimate goal of locating the global optimum $\mathbf{x}^{\star}$.

arXiv:2607. 18282v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bayesian Optimization is widely used for expensive black-box optimization, yet its success often depends on choosing a kernel that matches the objective's unknown structure.

arXiv:2606. 07134v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Information-theoretic acquisition functions such as Entropy Search (ES) offer a principled exploration-exploitation framework for Bayesian optimization (BO).

arXiv:2606. 19587v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose a scalable method for training prediction (machine learning) models in the predict-then-optimize paradigm, where model outputs serve as coefficients for a subsequent linear optimization task.
